Bonjour !
Avril est le mois le plus chargé dans mon agenda en ce qui concerne les anniversaires et même si j’ai toujours des cartes d’avance, j’ai toujours une bonne excuse pour en faire des nouvelles.
Hello !
April is the busiest month in my agenda when it comes to birthdays, and while I always have cards ahead, I always have a good excuse to make some new.
Happy and honoured to be the winner at Perfectly CAS.
CAS Mix Up Card a un nouveau défi : paper piecing. C’est une technique que j’ai très rarement faite (une seule fois je crois) alors je me suis lancée avec cette carte.
CAS Mix Up Card has a new challenge : Paper Piecing. It’s a technique that I rarely used (only once I think) so I tried with this card.
Je voulais essayer avec les adorables petites souris d’Anita Jeram. J’ai donc commencé par les tamponner sur la double carte blanche puis sur du papier à motif. J’ai fait de même pour les cadeaux, les rubans et l’étiquette.
I wanted to try with the adorable little mice from Anita Jeram. So I started by stamping them on a double white card then on pattern paper. I did the same for the gifts, the ribbons and the tag.
J’ai tout découpé à la main et avant de les coller sur la double carte, j’ai fait un fond en mélangeant des encres. Et cette fois-ci, pas besoin de masquer les images déjà tamponnées puisqu’au final je les recouvre avec les papiers à motif !
I fussy cut all the images and before adhering them on the double card, I sponged some inks to make a background. And this time, no need to mask the images already stamped since at the end I cover them with the pattern papers !
Pour finir, j’ai tamponné le sentiment, je l’ai découpé et je l’ai collé avec de la mousse adhésive. J’ai aussi mis un peu de Wink of Stella sur les cadeaux pour qu’ils brillent un peu.
To finish, I stamped the sentiment, I cut it and I foam mounted it. I also put some shimmer with a Wink of Stella brush over the gifts.
Et voilà ! Merci pour votre visite et tous les gentils commentaires que vous me laissez. C’est toujours un plaisir de vous lire. À très bientôt…
