Black and White Card for Swap and the Great Turtle Rescue!
Shortly after this a few very excited boys came over, there was a huge snapping turtle on the sidewalk close to what we refer to as the common area. Mike (my hero) decided to handle this critter. I went to get the car and we managed to get this very large turtle onto a tarp, wrap her up and depoit her in a small creek near the house. I think she was glad to get the heck out of there. (Oh on the way to getting her relocated, I had to rescue a small box turtle that was in the road) — Must be turtle rescue day!
Here is my recipe for the beautiful black and white card at the header to todays blog:
This is a very simple yet elegant card. Here is the recipe:
Card base is black and measures 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″ ,For the next layer, I randomly stamped all the images from the botanicals set onto white card stock, cut it down to 4″X5 1/4″ for the first layer.
The black layer measures 4″X3″, I printed sheet music from 8notes.cfom, and used my nestability square to cut it down to approx 3 1/2″ X 3″.
The next black card stock layer is 3 X 2 1/4″, The main blossom from the set is layered onto the black with a piece of white card stock that measures 2 3/4″ X 2″.
I then cut a slit for the ribbon, the sentiment “blessings, is from Rubber soul, It is acutally an ‘easter blessings’ I only inked the ‘blessings’ part. This strip of white cs measures 3/4″ X 1”. It is attached ontop of the ribbon with two pop dots.
To finish off the card, I used a silver pen to highlight the details of the flower.
