I have to admit getting the project done was a WHOLE bunch easier than the technical stuff. I couldn't find anywhere in my photo software to add the water mark Jennifer kindly sent me - looked so darn good too - so I'm having to post without it. I downloaded a couple of free photo editing softwares and almost got there but not quite. I still have to upload it to the Project Tuesday site as yet!
Anyhow I'm sharing it here like I always do and hoping next time round will be a whole lot smoother.
This weeks project was a hinged card. I had never actually heard of one of these before let alone seen one so it's safe to say I'm already learning alot. I really liked the concept and it was super easy to do.
Basically the upper portion of the card lifts up and away to reveal the underneath. How cute is that? I decided to use the Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety designs and kept it clean and simple. I am amazed at how clean and simple it turned out - not usually my style.
I used a decorative element taken from a whole sheet of matching elements and a 'fresh' sticker from a co-ordinating sticker sheet. I stapled a piece of ribbon just above the sticker so you can pull up on it. Finally I added a few of Craftworks little 'faux' brads cos they reminded me of peas.
I printed the text inside using my trusty computer and added some quirky faux stitching lines with my ever trusty pattern tracing wheel.
Finally to hide the brad back I mounted the whole thing onto a piece of red cardstock to give a clean finish.
