Borders and mitres class

Our Wednesday and Friday class was all about types of borders. They don't all have to be straight lines. We masked, mitred and stamped three different borders.

This one, the border was created using a mask. We ripped a piece of paper into an oval shape. Sponged outwards with Melon Mambo, Basic Gray and Old Olive. The sentiment from Picture Perfect stamp set was stamped inside the border in Basic Gray. The bow was Old Olive seam binding ribbon.

Half the class did the Old Olive and the other half created this Thank You card using Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie. Two lovely cards and very easy to create.

I had my grand son in mind when I created this card. He is mad on music and either is listening to music through the headphones or playing it himself on his guitar. I was very excited to see this Free stamp set among the Sale-A-Bration items.

The border on this one was created after first stamping the wood grain with Crumb Cake ink on the Crumb Cake card front. Crumb Cake strips longer than the card sides, were sponged and then partially adhered on all four sides (corners were not stuck down). Each corner was then cut from outside corner to inside corner, this forms the mitre. It was then sponged and stuck down.

All the images were embossed with copper and then coloured with our Write Markers. The knob that is holding the earphones was created using a pearl that was also embossed with Copper.

Finally the last card, the border was stamped down the side with the Painted Harvest stamp set. I love this set and I'm so glad it will be in the new catalogue coming out in June.
