Embellishments... ... to add Magic to your Cards
Sparkling magic for your cards comes from the embellishments that you choose to adorn them with.
These come in many forms but some I like to use are
Gemstones,
and beautiful
Glitter.
The smallest of gems can add that special something to a finished card.Sometimes when you think a card is finished it seems to lack that... "certain something". You can't quite put your finger on it....but it just doesn't look right. Two or three gemstones in strategic places can all make the difference. Place them dry, wherever you think they would look good, and when you are happy with the result glue them in place, permanantly. Then stand back and admire your handywork. Pleased? Yes of course you are!
There are many ways to add
Flowers.
Try making some
Crochet,
Punched flowers,
or Acetate ones
for a different kind of look.
And don't overlook the addition of some
Skeleton Leaves.
These flowers are small mulberry ones, and the rain in the puddle at the childs feet is "Glossy Accents".
And if you wanted to add some snow then try
Flower Soft
Don't forget to browse the internet as well for other embellishments, and try the craft fairs that visit your area.
Car boot sales can also turn up some little treasures.
Look for ribbons, and use the shorter lengths to make a
Ribbon Flower.
Look for
Lace,
silk leaves and
Feathers
and start keeping
Buttons
as a cheap way to add decoration to your cards.
And for a fun look add
Googly Eyes.
Another lovely addition to your cards comes in the form of
Decorative Pins
which can really make your "Special" cards stand out from the crowd. Look at what you have to weave a few magic spells of your own. Have fun and enjoy!
