Kaleidoscope

I haven't been away for the last few months. My computer has been having fits and still isn't fixed.  I have jerry rigged a way to download pictures from my phone in a very indirect way that only works sometimes. So, here we go.

This months Group of Seven Cardmakers are creating Kaleidoscope cards. The cards have the look that we used to see in a Kaleidoscope when we were kids. It's exciting to see how they come out. 

My first card used a pattern paper with white flowers. I was able to find a very old Hero Arts stamp that looked just like those flowers so I stamped it in Versamark and embossed with gold embossing powder.  After cutting into half inch strips I added them to a card front. Then I stamped the same stamp with a matching color and added a sentiment.

My second card was made using a Simon Says background stamp and embossed it in gold embossing powder. Then I lightly water colored the background in a soft green and cut into strips. I glued half of the strips to the top and half to the bottom. I added a leaf stem die from Poppy Stamps cut from gold cardstock along with a greeting. 

I accidently drank invisible ink and now I'm at the hospital waiting to be seen. 






Be kind to one another.
