Hi Folks, sorry I have been absent for so long. Although I have been making some cards, it has been hard work and not fun - not sure why - and I never got around to taking any pics. Hopefully, I will be able to keep the momentum going from now on. The card I am sharing today had me completely stumped. It's for a new customer who wanted a card for his Daughter's Passing Out from Police College.

This is what I came up with. I surfed the net for a pic of a policewoman's hat, which I copied and then printed onto photo paper, I dread to think how many times I printed this ****** hat cos I couldn't get the decoupage right - good job it's Tesco's best cheap photo paper lol. I made up the checkerboard paper in PSP and designed the badge in Printmaster. I printed the badge onto White Stardream and was ready with the silver embossing powder as it came out of the printer. It doesn't show very well on the pic, but it worked really well. I used Lapis Stardream and Silk Mirri Silver for the backing card and added three mulberry flowers for a bit of colour. I do hope he likes it, more especially I hope his Daughter will like it.Thank you so much for visiting my blog and for any comments you may wish to make.

Hooray...you're back, oh it's so good to see you (so to speak)
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about not enjoying crafting, been there many times...in the end I went in a different direction,Tags Atc's etc, my style is different too from the cards I was making over a year ago. Maybe you need a change my friend.
Love this card, it's brilliant.
Love & hugs Sandie xx

Hello stranger. Lovely to see you back and posting. It's amazing how we lose the will to make cards sometimes. This card has certainly tested you especially with it being for a new customer and you don't know their likes/dislikes yet. I'm sure he'll be "over the moon" with this card and so will his daughter. Best wishes, Kym xxx
