TJ Gelatos and Club Scrap Picnic

Hi there!

Still no pizza box,so more fun with my

Club Scrap Digital Picnic

 and another way of making

my background.

This time I used the Embossed Gelatos technique

to make the background from the

 Technique Junkies Artist Effects CD 

and Club Scrap Navajo and Circle papers to

make my card for today.

I noticed on the digital lay outs there was a pinwheel

image. I just had to make a real one. So I printed

out one of the papers in green. I a cut 2"x 2" piece

of paper to make a pinwheel. Here you see how I did that:

Because you also see the backside of the paper,

I colored it with gelatos (same colors as the

background) and stamped the Avant Garde stamp

in vintage photo distress ink.

Then I used my scoring bord to score a cross 

through the square.

Now you cut all 4 sides towards the middle

stopping half an inch before the centre.

I marked the places where you punch

or prick a hole.

To fisish the pinweel you need:

a button

a straw or toothpick

a piece of wax thread

Thread the wax thread from the back middle holes

towards the front. Now you fold the points towards the

middle and one by one you pull the thread through.

On the backside you add the straw /toothpick

before tying everything together. 

Here you see the finished pinwheel ready to

be used on the card.

This glass image is printed out twice and

the glass is cut out to make a 3d image

on the card and the ice cube is covered

with Rangers ice sparkled glitter glue.

The pinwheel is stuck into the 3d glass image

that is fastened with foam tape on the card.

Some left over pieces are used to decorate

the inside of the card.

Thank you for looking.

Have a creative day!
