Good afternoon,
I hope you are having a good weekend. I am doing the Great Blakenham Claritystampers East workshop tomorrow, so having a bit of a rest today.
Today's card is one made using the fabulous new papers from Clarity. I like using pretty papers to do tea bag folding. I prefer using papers rather than the proper patterned squares designed for the job. You don't have to be quite so precise with your folding! It is not so much in fashion at the moment, but I do them every now and then, I think they make a good decoration.
I did my fold and glued it all together, then stuck it to a small piece of square card (which doesn't show) to stabilise it. I like to put a brad through the centre.
These papers are all double-sided, which is good for folding because you don't get white bits showing.
I went over the top with a glitter pen.
I stamped and inked a piece of matching card, using the corner stamp from the Sketchy Set of stamps and added the word 'Special' from the word chains, then stuck that to another piece of the same paper
Thanks very much for visiting, have a great day!

ReplyDeleteI love the blend of colours. Haven't done tea bag folding for years but I love the way you have used it on the card.
