Card Recipe:
Focal Image: Anna Griffin Hanoka Die Cuts
Colouring Mediums: Promarker Pens
Paper & Card: Anna Griffin, Stardream
Tools: Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page, Spellbinders, Grand Calibur, corner rounder
Tools: Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page, Spellbinders, Grand Calibur, corner rounder
To make this card, I used a Martha Stewart punch around the page kit to cut the base in black stardream card. I thought that the cane-style pattern went perfectly with the Chinese-themed Anna Griffin Hanoka papers and die cuts. I also punched out some long strips of stone coloured pearlescent cardstock, which I used to edge the larger spellbinders Labels 1 mat. To make these straight strips curve around the corners, I just snipped into them with scissors.
I made this card for my Uncle's 75th birthday, he keeps Koi Carp, so this Hanoka range by Anna Griffin was perfect for his card. And as everything used on this card was from my stash and over 6 months old, it was perfect for an Oldie But A Goodie Challenge - Boys/Male card.

ReplyDeleteHi Dips! Absolutely love this card, the image and background are put together so well, love the colours and the charms are just perfect. That fish reminds me of those little red, plastic ones we used to get in the crackers at Christmas that you'd put in your hand and see how much they curled and the chart would tell you whether you were red hot or frigid lol! Hope you're having a great weekend. Maddy x
