Today we are showing off "Bravo" and more Fri-dies and holy wow - I have two cards for you today!
I decided to get with "it" and make one a shaker card - I don't do them too often because I just keep thinking I am doing it wrong lol - but it really was quite easy to create.
I began by die cutting the Bravo Fri-die three times on black cardstock, and adhering acetate with a thin glue line to the back.
My card base is gold cardstock and after adding strips of foam tape around the outside, (making sure to keep it all closed up so that none of the sequins would fall out when I put it all together)-- I stuffed this baby full of gold, silver and copper sequins!!
I removed the protective strips from the foam tape and carefully laid the die cut cardstock on top to adhere.
The gold ribbon and sweet star sequins tied it all together - great for graduation or any other accomplishment for that matter!
For my next card I hand painted gold stripes onto watercolour paper and added the die-cut Bravo - I die cut the word three times and adhered them together to add some fabulous dimension.
I snipped some black cardstock into a flag shape and stamped the sentiment in versa mark ink. After embossing with gold embossing powder, I popped it up under the die cut.
I added a few more gold sequins - can you ever have enough?! I think not.
Take a look over at the CAS-ual Fridays blog to see who else is creating today - there are so many fabulous samples - it's unbelievable!
LOVE the stripes! Goes perfect with Bravo
