Here's a cute gift idea for your paper crafting friends. It's nice to make something for yourself once in a while too. That's what I did with this hanging card for my work space.
The background is created using several layers of coordinating papers in staggered sizes. For the "photo" corners I used a paper with multiple thin stripes. There's a layer of blue paper right behind the frog that I tore along the top and then curled the edges to look a bit more like water. The layers are all then stitched on the sewing machine.
The lettering was intended to look random like a ransom note so all the lettering was printed on cardstock, then cut by hand. I cut the frog on my cutting machine, inked the edges and pieced it together.
Paper Rain Drops |
The effect of raindrops was done using JudiKins Diamond Glaze. Just add a dot and pull upwards on the paper to get the rain drop effect. Pull up at the same angel each time.
Here's a few other options for the inspirational phrases...
- Just Singing in the Rain
- If you want to see the rainbow you got to sit through a little rain.
- Let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy day.
- Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
- God made rainy days so gardeners could get the housework done.
Lindo.....maravilhoso!!!
