Creatalicious Challenge #1

Creatalicious_Challenge#1 have their first challenge up and running!
It is Fathers Day next month in Australia so we need make something for dad, it can be anything and it does not have to be specifically for Father's Day.......you just need to include the colour brown and some metal on your creation.
I was so impressed with the first entry, submitted by Sue, that I went here to see the instructions for this type of card. I have never tried anything like this before, so I thought I would give it a go.
so here is what I made!
Cardstock/papers: Brown bazzil, double-sided patterned paper
Gold stickers & sentiment, metal tools
Forever Friends image coloured with watercolour pencils, pewter paint used on some of the tools

The metal tools are quite heavy & make the card a bit unbalanced ;-(

I may have to rethink this one!

Here is a nice shot from an angle - shows the depth of the card a bit better.

I really enjoyed making up this card - the instructions are exceptional!

Thanks to Creatalicious for the challenge and special thanks to Sue for posting her card and sharing the instructions.

I love your card, it's so perfectly balanced, and seeing that deckled Nestie had made me want them even more!! Thank you for taking up the challenge and for your inspiration! :o) xx

  6. Wow you did a great job with this card design, I tried it and messed it up! LOL. I did see another design similar but it had a small 1cm fold in the middle instead of just the single fold. Helped with the Squash effect.
    Hey - SU! has a cool stamp set of tools - might be a lot lighter lol! Just joking.
    Love it.
