| The background of this card has been painted in three different layers: first a layer with orange paint, then a layer of crackle glaze and finally a layer of light blue paint. (It's important to let the different layers dry if you want to get a crackle effect.) For the outer frame I've used blue paper which I've covered with orange lace from an old dress I used to wear. The scallops have been cut out by hand. I usually create my scalloped edges, by using a glue stick, pencil and a pair of small scissors. I put the cap of the glue stick on a paper and move my pencil around the cap and draw a half circle. Then I create my next half circle beside the previous half circle, and repeat the process until I have enough of half circles in a row. Finally I cut the paper, by following the points of the half circles. The origami pieces are upcycled from an old map. You can find a tutorial for the origami jumper here and the origami hat here. I have found the Hello Sunshine-image here. I am entering this card into the following challenges: Upcycle/recycle Color Inspiration #150 PDC145 Challenge #97 Add some Lace Travel #201 Summer |

La di dots
| Let's hang out (card with lots of dots/circles) For this card I used a potholder as a template. Look around you and you will notice that there are many things which could work as a card template. I used embossed paper for the dresses and the circles. I painted yellow and purple dots on the dresses. Here's how to make an origami dress: yes here I found the images for my card here: butterfly and let's hang out.
