Is not easy, nor fast! Anyone that's planned one before knows it takes time to figure out what projects would be well suited for any given event! There are considerations like how easy/difficult the projects should be and how much material would be required for the chosen projects - just to name a few!The sample I'm showing today was created originally for my March 6th fundraising event, but I opted to simplify the card slightly to accommodate to some newer stampers that are coming. Wouldn't want to overwhelm anyone at this event - it's suppose to be FUN after all!!
Anyhow, I love the effects on this card but it did take some additional steps to accomplish and may not be totally visable by my photography. I actually ran some white cardstock through the Big Shot using the 'Perfect Polka Dots' textured impressions folder and then cut out the 'leaves' using the 'Little Leaves' Sizzlits Die. I cut leaves out of both Whisper White and Chocolate Chip cardstock and layered them to create a bit of shadow effect and then popped them up off the impressed White polka dot background.
I was also looking to fill some space above the saying and the 'Sweet Pea Stitched Felt' worked perfectly! The card was a bit too complicated for an event at which there are beginners making 20 full cards - but it does show how easily you can upgrade a more basic card to something with more dynamic effects! Here's a close-up of the card focal point.
Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to pop by tomorrow for more 'Love Sparkles' samples including a scrapbook page + some love notes!!
