Holographic card stock makes me dizzy but isn't it lovely on cards? YES. The pic was taken with flash, and it really gives depth and shows the rainbow effect. First I punched the corners, then around the card to get those leaves. Then I placed holographic card under it and voila, here we got the wonderful shine.
This is my first "normal" easel card and the base is very simply decorated with couple of bugs and leaves. On the card itself there are more bugs!
Original image has a bird, but I cut it out (okay, I admit, colouring birds is probably harder than colouring snow, so you understand how much I try to avoid birds. Hmmm... Good I'm not Alfred Hitchock. LOL), yes, I cut the birdie out and glued couple of butterflies there. Extra wow factor is two or three layers on each.
With good imagination, you can "see" a frog hiding behind the leaves down on the edge of the diamond cut. ;)

Yes, I forgot to sort that silly line out on the left side of "watermark". Annoying. Maybe next time.   |

Oops, forgot this:
Bugs and Butterflies are sparkling, thanks to kids very cheap glitter glue. (I squeezed glue on a blank card and spread it all over by finger and let it dry over night and then hehe, it looked good and well... the rest is on the card :)
This came out real nice! Who wouldve thought with the holographic stickers? they're actually quite pretty, and your coloring just gets batter and better!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful. I've never seen the holographic stickers before, but they sure do add to the beauty of the card. Your coloring is great! Hugs, dj
ReplyDeleteThey are not stickers, my ladies :) It is holographic card under the punched one. :)
