Camera Double 'z'

Hello again,

Well I'm still catching up on cards I made for some July Birthdays almost all male, now that they have all been received I can post them here.

This card was for my Dad's birthday, since taking up studying has become a family affair he likes to head to cemeteries taking photo's of headstones, some plain and simple others large ornate headstones. 

I made my first 'Double Z' card (at least I think that is what this fold is called) I did of course make a couple of errors, you know measure twice cut once... and if I'd thought of it I probably should have hidden the backs of the brads behind the silver card before attaching it to the card blank... never mind... and I could have made the lens into a shaker element if I'd thought of that at the time too...

The extra special enamel dots you can see behind the camera has nothing to do with hiding anything like glue from dropping the blue rhinestone on the card either ;-)

Here's my card:-

What Can you Play.... I can play

Hello again,

Today I am sharing another card I have made for my Mum's friend from Family History group she attends, this card is for her grand-daughter who likes music, after further clarification I found out she is learning to play the trombone and after a search online I found a black and white outline of a trombone and printed it to fit a card (it was A4), I used some silver card scraps for the trombone and mounted it with foam tape over an embossed panel. I used my new MFT stamps and die set to create a banner and knowing that this card was being packed in luggage it was safe for me to add some chunky embellishments, so I grabbed a tiny peg and broke it in half to hold the ends of the banner in place.

Here is my card:-

What I used:-

White card blank

Silver card stock

Pink Chevron paper Pebbles basics paper pad

Pink, silver, metallic silver, white and musical script card scraps

Trombone pattern downloaded from internet

MFT LJD Bitty Banners Stamp and Die Set

Tiny blue peg broken in half
