Hello! I’m back and this time I’m sharing a card with you featuring a beautiful bird in flight, pretty flowers, a heart sealed in an envelope and quite a lot of red!
For the bottom section of my card I created a little banner border by sticking down a line of Clear Polypropylene Photo Corners – I used a ruler to keep them straight. Tip: these are super sticky and because I wanted to use them as a mask and remove them easily, I reduced the stickiness by tapping them onto a piece of fabric first – jeans are good!
Once they were positioned, I sprayed the card (somewhat liberally!) with Glimmer Mist. Wait until dry and then lift the photo corners.
I found this metal heart in my odds and ends box and placed it inside a Keepsake Envelope with a tiny piece of typed backing paper.
Use Crafty Power Tape to adhere ribbon.
To secure the Glitz Design bird die cut and to add dimension, I opted for Crafty Foam Tape.
The flowers and leaves are created from Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms. I attached them to the card using small 3D Foam Squares.
And here is another look at the finished card.
A list of the products I used:

Hi Christine
a very vivid and attractive card. What a very clever idea to use the photo corners are masks, I will be looking at everything I have that is sticky now for more inspirational ideas. I definitely must invest in those pockets though, they are just wonderful and would be useful inside cards for gift cards and also on scrapbook pages and tags too.
Regards Linda xx
Beautiful card Christine
Love the colourway and how you have masked with the photo corners. The little pocket is useful, you could use it for gift cards, thus giving a card and gift in one go! Great tutorial really useful. Thank you Alison
Oh oh oh Christine – what a brilliant way to use those photo corners!!! I love this card especially the way you have spritzed it. I would never ever have thought of fading the colour out like this. You have given me some great ideas now. Oh and I love that little pocket.
Hugs Sue P xx
