Hello everyone.
I am a brand NEW member of the Time for Tea Designs Design Team and I'm using the Let's Party Sentiment Die to create this playful card design.
Today I am sharing an A2 size card (4.25in x5.5in.) The front panel is cut to 3.25in x 4.75in. This is my favorite size card to create. I have tried so many others but this size is the one that keeps my heart happy. My card bases are typically made using a neutral gray cardstock.
BACKGROUND
To create the background I used various inks to spritz, splatter, and drip some color onto the panel. Some pink, black, and gold to be specific. It is popped up using craft foam and tear tape adhesive.
SENTIMENT
The sentiment is the star of the show. The Let's Party Sentiment Die was cut out a total of four times using a tabletop die-cutting machine, and then layered together using liquid adhesive. The first three layers are thick white cardstock and the last layer is brushed rose gold metallic cardstock.
EMBELLISHMENTS
I added three gold butterflies from my stash using glue dots. My stash is large, to say the least. I need to start using some of these products that I've acquired over the years. So, YAY! I used my stash!
I hope that I've inspired you to create something today. Check out the Let's Party Sentiment Die in the T4TD shop.
The SBGR317 is in some ways the platonic ideal of a Grand Seiko watch. link Its simple black link dial allows the diamond-polished hands and indexes to shine all the more vividly. The case is finished with Zaratsu polishing, link the now-famous Grand Seiko treatment carried out on German Sallaz machines, which results in highly reflective cases with strong angular features.
There's a word link I haven't used yet as I've descended into red-nosed, face-painted madness: link This might all just be a gimmick, and clown watches might not have any meaning at all. But I don't know if that's entirely accurate link – there will always be a reason behind the design. When it comes to pairing clowns and watches, we just have to dig a little deeper to find out what that reason might be.
Excited to see you back! Someone on Kristina's live the other day mentioned you were part of a design team 💞
