In many ways this card happened by accident. I had viewed a couple of tutorials about using up scraps, checked out a card that looked interesting but now I cannot locate it to acknowledge its creator, and I needed a masculine style card for someone. The small banner die is from an unbranded set and is so thin that it is not very useful. Having the idea to use it on scraps seemed to me a good way to get some use out of it. Initially I was going to glue each strip in staggered lines butting each piece up against another. But I had the strips in my hand, which is sore today and promptly dropped them onto the white piece. They looked kind of interesting the way they scattered so I glued them that way. The white piece is the inside of a frame I used a while ago, the notes are stick-on puffy shapes I’ve had forever and the sentiment comes from one of my first purchases from GKD, and is quite old now. When I went to glue the layer onto the gray card front, it also fell and rather than try to straighten it I decided to leave it as is. Then I went around the whole thing with a black fine pen and over that with a glitter pen.
One card for two challenges makes me feel pretty good about myself. As I incorporated the double dare the card also works for a 3rd challenge too.
It is an okay card and in a way I like it, in another I don’t. It is certainly different and with my hands being the way they are it is fortunate I could create anything at all. Thanks for stopping by.
