Last night, I made 3 cards. I actually took more than an hour to make the first card because I was using the pearl string for the first time and I had difficulty with it. Oh, and I have difficulty incorporating ribbons into my card project as well. They're such a pain! Pretty but a painful process! I guess if you use ribbons very often in your project, they can be quite a breeze to use. But not yours truly with the chubby fingers!
Anyway...
So, I somehow managed to scrape through the first one and half hour doing ONE card and then I was like this is so tiring! I was still in the mood to make more cards then two were nicely made and each one was done within 45 minutes which is the usual timing. I tried to make a card for 30 minutes MAX but yah, I can't unless it is a very simple card. There is always something missing.
I present to you my creations using the materials from an earlier post.
This was the very first card and actually the initial ribbon was black colour but I had difficulty pasting it down. So this white satin ribbon came to be with little bit of hassle only. So I think this is a really 'girly' looking card with lace, ribbon and pearls.
Speaking of the pearls, I was frustrated initially because I could not get the string of pearl to be arranged how I wanted it to be and then it left traces of glue *Grr* but you gotta think on your feet so I managed to somehow made it work.
Did I tell you that in my recent card projects, I have this wheee bit of obsession with crystal adhesives like how can you not be? They always add that nice touch to a card. Okay after the trial and error of making a curve out of the pearl string, I had it stuck behind the paper flower in a line. Well, it somehow worked, no?
I don't know if you can see it, I actually use vellum for this project! And I love love love the book print as the main paper pattern.
I would say this is the simplest of the lot. But not without its added charm of course. I managed to save the black ribbon which I actually ruined with glue from an earlier project.
Yes, I am indeed 'loving my journey' as a card maker :)
