That is the dare for this week. Make a card that is different from your signature designs.
Well, to be honest, I don't have A signature design. Every card I design is usually for a purpose & I very rarely make two the same. Except when asked if I have made something & two people want it!!!
However, if I am to truly step out of my comfort zone, then it is to copy someone else's design.
I only make my own so copying someone else's is scary.
I saw this design by Brenda Walton, a designer for the company K&Co.
I have adapted it of course to make it my own, but it appealed to me.
It is based on an envelope & I have used a big metal floral brad & label tag, which I very recently recieved from a dear friend, Pearl.
Papers are K&Co. Pansy at the bottom of the card is a real pressed one.
The light isn't too hot today & the brad doesn't stand out too well. but, I could wait all day & still not get a better shot of it!!Well, to be honest, I don't have A signature design.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and a beautiful card!

The envelope idea is really clever Paula - I think it might be quite adaptable too - maybe it could be made to actually open and to hold a secret message.
ReplyDeleteThe pressed pansy really works well with the paper
Well done Paula, what a fab idea!
