Card for a collegue

Hello and welcome, 

Half of April has passed, I must say time flies. 

Today I will share a card that I have made for a collegue who will start a new job next week. It is with sadness in my mind I share this card. I have made it with Tim Holtz products and it gave me the opportunity to try the Colorize Lovestruck die.

I started with the background, cut Distress White heavystock and inked my craft mat with Distress ink Frayed burlap. Spritzed with water and dipped and dried until I was happy with the result. Then I used Tim’s 3D embossingfolder “Bothanical”. Then I took a ink blending tool, Frayed burlap ink and inked the raised areas from the embossing. Then I used the splat brush with Salvaged patina Distress paint, for some paint “splash”. I also used my sewing machine and stitched around the edges, also inked the edges with Distress ink.

Then I inked some Distress White heavystock in different colors for the Lovestruck die. Using the “dip and dry technique “. I diecut all the pieces, inked all the edges and glued them all together. 

For the end of the arrow I used some sanded metallic Kraftstock . 

I sanded and inked the edges on a Metallic sticker - Quotations, and mounted it on to the card with 3D foam. 

I used long fasteners in three of the corners on the card.

I tied a string around the card and mounted a Thought token with a jump ring to the string. I used Distress crayon in Antique linen over the text on the token to make it more visible. I mounted the card on a piece of red sanded Ideaology Kraftstock, then an inked cardboard piece and finally to a piece of Kraft heavystock as cardbase. I used 3D foam between the two first layers. 

I wish my collegue good luck on her new job and hope that we will have a new good collegue at my work. 

Have a nice day, 

Thank you very much for visiting my blog. Much appreciated.
