Secret Message Slider Card

A card for A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge and the challenge is to make a secret message card. I've been wanting to try this style of card for a while as I don't usually make cards that require any kind of construction! My card has a lot more bling on it than usual which hides a multitude of errors and if I make another I'll probably do a couple of things differently. I've learned from this not to use Bazzil Bling for anything that needs folding as the surface splits and not to do afterthought stamping, hence the patterned paper border and flowers to hide the joins! You can find a tutorial on SCS, Hidden Message Slider Card.

I used a perfectly sized, Hangler image, kindly donated by my friend Sandra and coloured her with prismacolor pencils. I added some glossy glaze over the heart and mounted it with dimension tape. The sentiments are from a Hero Arts mini set and were stamped in Versafine black ink. Added the flowers, gems and some scraps of ribbon as a pull for the sliding element to finish. I won't explain how the card is made up as it's a bit long-winded but I think it's a clever idea. TFL.

Back soon,
Chris

Little Hangler Girl

I received a lovely present from my friend Sandra this week of some gorgeous Hanglar stamped images. Thank you Sandra, it's very much appreciated. This card is for Papertake Weekly where the challenge is to use a button or buttons. This sweet little girl is coloured with distress inks and cut out with a circle nestability. I matted on a scalloped circle of lilac Bazzil Bling which has a lovely shimmer. There's stickles dotted about which doesn't show up very well in the picture. The image panel is 3d over the Pink Petticoat background paper and lilac ribbon. I stamped the sentiment in distress ink to finish. TFL.

Back soon,

Chris
