Day 10 - "I"

Even though you're unlikely to find any ice outside of a freezer or esky around here, I'm still going with "I" for ice skate today. I've only been ice skating once, a very long time ago, and that was enough for me to realise that I am not cut out for slippery surfaces!

YOUR TURN: Create a card using the letter "I" as your prompt.

Tutorial - Circle Cards

Circle cards are fairly easy to construct, and the technique can be used for just about any shaped card that you wish to make.  The only thing you must remember is to leave a spine where the card can fold.  If you cut all the way through you will only end up with two pieces of cardboard!

1.  Use your favourite circle cutting tool to prepare the card base.  You will notice that the circle on the left has one flat side, which is the actual fold of the card.  The circle on the right is just a single piece of cardboard cut to the same size.  I will adhere the full circle to the front of the card so that it appears to be whole.

2.  Gather all the pieces you wish to use for your card.  I have the card blank, which forms the base of the card; the full circle you saw in the last photo, which I embossed with little dots; a red layer and a purple layer with a piece of ribbon threaded through it; and my coloured image.

3.  Simply layer your card as you wish, securing each piece of cardboard with double sided tape or glue.

4.  Add some extra embellishments if you wish, and your card is done!

Time for a Freebie!

Here's a simple little drawing that could be used for a variety of occasions.  I really like these sorts of images because you can colour them to the taste of the recipient or a particular theme.

Don't forget that our June challenge is ending in just a few days.  It's a nice simple one... just make a card using any one of the Beccy's Place images.  I will choose a guest designer for the month of July from amongst the entries and the challenge winner, chosen at random, will receive three free images from my online store.

Good luck!
