Hello all, I'm a little bit late in posting my design team piece for an Oldie But A Goodie Challenge as last week I had to post sneak peeks of the new Tonic Christmas Dies, but hey ho, better late than never, and I did have my card ready in time to be posted onto the Oldie But A Goodie Blog. The latest challenge is Boys/Male Cards and runs until Monday 19th August. So dust out your old stash (you need to use at least one thing on your project that is over 6 months old - one of the reasons I absolutely love this challenge blog).
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
Embellishments: double satin ribbon, Chinese charms, brad
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 the lucky coin charms by attaching double satin ribbon to some coin charms that I had in my stash, and used a jump ring to make the fish charm which I then attached with a brad.
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.
