    I liked the first one with the tip of spritzing for blending colors and that you did it on the diagonal! I've done a washi tape card with about 1" tape and sides are coming up a bit (cheap tape?). Any tips for that? Otherwise it is great card and I used up a cute 3D embellishment😊

    • @LaurelBeard
      @LaurelBeard  Місяць тому +1

      Ahh yes, - washi tape lifting - you can add some liquid glue but there is a chance the glue might show thru.

      A touch of tape runner can help and show less than glue. I like to fold the edges over the side of a panel because then when I glue the panel onto the card it’s secured that way! 🧑🏼‍🎨😀

      Yes, I stamp and die cut them out and then color them? Usually any time I get something new, I at least stamp and die cut 2-3 times. Some I color, some I wait until I have the project in mind and then color so it coordinates well!

    Great cards. My favorite is the orangy one with the scripty happy birthday. I have trouble being satisfied with cards I make that leave as much white space as you did on the last card. I like the one you did, but if I made it, I would be twitchy leaving it like that. Any suggestions for how you manage cards with lots of white space??

    • @LaurelBeard
      @LaurelBeard  Місяць тому

      Ahh yes, the dreaded white space. I am a minimalistic card maker, so I love white space. But you could always add sequins or other embellishments, or do some ink/paint flicking to add some added texture to cover up some of that white space!

    8am on a no buy. My husband was laid off in October and has been searching for a job ever since. If anyone hears of a job in the data wearhouse development field, please let us know. Relocation is an option.
