Several rolls of handmade papers were gifted to me by my brother and his wife when they went to Sir Lanka on vacation. Hi, Margie here today, and I want to share what I created with it. Also, what adhesives I used to make it work!
Joyful Panels
The pattern had natural elements in it so I wanted it to make a background. Die-cut a rectangle panel for a top panel.
Joyful Paper Doll
Using the Dual Tip Glue Pen, I die-cut and paper-pieced a kimono girl with a combination of patterned paper and white, cream, and black cardstock. With the Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft., I secured the paper doll on the panel.
Using the same Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft., I covered the back of the panel and matted it on a larger citrus green panel before adding to a white cardstock card base.
Add Joyful Sentiment
Stamp the sentiment with black ink on a piece of white cardstock and die-cut it with a strip die. For interest, I cut the ends in a diagonal. Secure it to the upper right corner using the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser.
Designer’s Note: Use the rounded end of a bone folder to burnish the paper doll into the panel for strong adhesion.
I love the combination of cardstock and handmade paper for a unique texture and dimension. If you have specialty papers, use them to create something similar to my Handmade Joyful Card!
Thanks for Visiting!
