Hello everyone! Today I am showcasing the use of brads on a card. Easy, peasy right?! Well, the cards that you can make also must incorporate a freebie which can be found HERE. So, let's see what you've got! Once you're done, you can link back to the AiFactory challenge blog found HERE.
For my card, I really had a hard time coming up w/ the right layout. I can't tell you how many sizes I printed that ornament in! And colors too! The ornament is from the Christmas Clipart monthly club kit. I sandwiched the ornament between two pieces of Memory glass by Inkssentials, and then used UTEE and versamark to seal the edges. Interesting technique! I thought I could solder the edges, but um, yeah, you have to have solder! HELLO! Trying to melt WIRE just isn't going to cut it! LOL!
I also used acetate because I love the bottom of the card (the d.p.), and I didn't want to hide it, so I used acetate and stamped my sentiment! I also used lace and OldOlive ribbon to finish the card.
Have a STAMPTASTIC day!

That's really pretty, Erin! I love the glass around the ornament - even without it being soldered. In fact, I think it might have taken away from the clean look of that part of the card if you *had* soldered it.

Great job Erin. When I first looked at your card I thought that it was all material and not cardstock. I just blends so nicely together. Very Pretty!!

ReplyDeleteThis is very pretty. Thanks for the comment. Yes, it is a challenge to work with my wrist. But, I decided to not let it totally get me down. It's the red hair and being stubborn. lol
