Delft Tile Effect

Here is a neat card we made at our last Card Class, using the "Delft Tile" technique to make the front look like tiles ("Delft" is the popular blue Dutch pottery).

We scored the lines at equal intervals on the front of the card, then folded back the sections and carefully inked the edges, being careful not to get any in the cracks in order to make it look like grout.

It was finished off with some bling. Gotta love bling!

Another Easter card using Easter Blossoms...

Here is another Easter card made use the beautiful "Easter Blossoms" set. This was a tri-fold card with a little peek-a-boo window made using the Designer Label Punch to show the Easter sentiment.
To achieve this affect with the 2 different colours for the leaves and flowers, we simply painted the stamp using the Watercolour Markers.
Beautiful!
