Hello,
Today I am sharing a card I have made for The Mad Scrapper Blog using gorgeous papers from Maja Designs. This paper collection came in to the shop last year but the beautiful florals and subtle coordinating papers lend themselves to making beautiful cards too. This cardstock is heavy and you could use it as a card blank but I always believe in the belt and braces set up and add it to a 300gsm card blank as I'd hate to have my card forever found falling to the floor because of the heavy loading on the front.
Today I have used a shaped card blank stencil which gives you the perfect layers too. So as I have said I first cut out a white cardbase and to that I added a green then the dotted red layer but first I distressed the edges. I cut a floral layer but thought it didn't pop enough so I added it to a cream layer and after I had distressed the edges of the floral it allowed a tiny bit of the cream to show.
These next 3 photographs show the finished card where you can see I have added a collection of flowers and leaves from the store.
I did remove the brown stamens from the cream flowers as they were too harsh and added some tan ones. I cut the manufactures strip off the bottom of one paper and tucked some lace underneath and added it straight across the centre before adding the flowers.
I found the birthday sentiment in my stash and added the Happy 80th on to a tab allowing it to float off the side of the card. I have also added some rhinestone and tiny strawberry slices to the card front. The card sits on a stand which I added a red dot layer.
Thanks for stopping by today I hope I have inspired you to go through your scrapbook papers to see which ones you could use to make cards with. This collection is available in store or go to The Mad Scrapper and look at your leisure.
Sue.
