Welcome to those of you coming from the amazing Lounon, as well as those of you who regularly visit! Yep! The Squirrel Squad and I are back with another hop! As I'm sure you recall, each month we focus on a supply we've been squirreling away or a technique we haven't given a lot of time to. We also choose a theme to work around. This month we wanted to focus on creating an elegant card with marble incorporated!
I instantly knew what squirreled away supply I wanted to use. I have some marble contact paper that I have easily been toting around with me for years. Why? Who knows, other than I like it, but never seem to have much use for it. At this point I can't even tell you why I bought it all those years ago. Time to use up at least a bit of it!
Again, this month has found me stretched very thin, so I regret to say that there are no process pics or video for this. But it's a simple process! First, I applied some contact paper to cardstock. I then simply took some nesting rectangle dies and cut rectangles from the cardstock covered in contact paper, as well as two coordinating greens. I also added a couple of pieces of gold because metallic and marble just go together in my head for some reason. They were also the perfect way to tie in my die cut sentiment, "perfection". I glued all the rectangles down, then die cut three of the sentiment, stacked them up, and adhered them (I sued my Xyron for that). Because of the shine of the contact paper and the metallic, it was hard to get pictures that I felt do it justice. But I am pleased with this card! I think it is elegant and can be used for a variety of occasions!
There is WAY more inspiration to come! Just keep hopping along! Next stop: the brilliant and talented Anna! And if you love what we're doing, please leave a comment! We love it even more when you subscribe!
