May Arts has teamed up with Graphic 45 for a creative week of inspiration-with today being the final day of the blog hop. I am honored to be a part of this and thank you all for taking a look at my projects.
I created a keepsake box and Artistic Trading Cards-displayed on velvet ribbon-that can fit in the box.
To create the wooden
box I decapodged old dictionary paper along the side of the box and painted the
top, bottom and inside with acrylic paints.
I glued green velvet trim and topped the box with an ATC made from the
G45 kraft reflections paper. I embellished the
card with sewn ribbons, chip tag, metal butterfly, holes punched and lots of ribbon knots.
I love the size,shape and feel of a playing card and often use them as a base for projects. Inspired by the G45 All Decked Out paper I went ahead and used some playing cards as bases for my ATC’s and also threw in some plain cards with only holes punched for variety. Each ATC has ribbon, holes, paint and the G45 QUOTE...UNQUOTE paper for continuity.For the quotes, I picked the sayings that meant the most to me. I then knotted, clipped, threaded cards on the velvet ribbon to put them on display.
