Here's a "Novel" Idea...
... a faux book card!
A faux book card will give a different perspective. Very easy to do with just a couple of little snips.
Use the search box to help you find what you are looking for.
Here is card that is not quite what it seems. It is easy to re-create, and it takes very little effort from you to get the results you need.
Step 1
Take an A4 card, score and fold it in half.
Cut off a small triangle from the bottom left corner,
but don't throw it away...
Step 2
...place it at the top left corner and make a fient line.
Step 3
From the end of the slanting line, mark a parallel line to the right outside edge of the card.
Then make several ruled lines along the top of the card, from the left slanted line to the outer edge.
Keep your lines straight as these will look like the pages of the book.
Step 4
And lastly with your scissors just round off the right hand side of the faux pages.
And that's it..... Easy Peasy! Now you can dress it any way you want to.
Here is what I did with my card. I used gold peel offs along the page edges, and made a gold panel to fit alomg the spine part of the "book".
A little scalloped panel, raised up with foam pads, is added to the front and peel offs and gemstones decorate it.
The other music peel offs are added randomely to the front of the card and then coloured in with Sakura pens.
Yours can be for any occasion that you want .
As always practise first on cheap card. It won't take long to accomplish this idea as it is so simple to do.
