So often I make cards and really like looking at them, but can’t really decorate my house with cards. So I decided to make card fronts, just slightly larger than normal, and fill a collage frame. Problem solved! Now my cards are works of art that I can display in my home. And, I can switch out the ‘art’ whenever I want to! Pretty clever if I do say so myself.
The stamp set Toil & Trouble (#131724 wood, # 131727 clear) was used for the images. Several different techniques were used (the raven was heat embossed with black embossing powder onto DSP, the skulls were made using the ‘ghosting’ technique {how appropriate, right?} with white craft ink and black embossing powder. The “eye of newt” image was colored with markers and cropped out using the coordinating apothecary cart framelit dies. And the skeleton was stamped and die cut with the ovals framelits with another oval behind. A little heart from the Owl Builder Punch was placed onto my skeleton, too!)
