Hello fellow 49 and Market Friends! I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season!
It’s Nikki Sher back to share some lovely cards I made using the Echoes of Time Collection designed by Joanne Bain. I have to say, this collection is just beautiful! The colors are so soft and lovely plus the little critters in steampunk gear are just adorable!
For these cards, I used the 6×8 Collection Pack which is perfect for card making. The images from the 12×12 paper are scaled down nicely for a smaller size and there is a nice assortment of solids and repeating patterns included in the pack. And since three pieces of each paper come in the pack, there is plenty to choose from.
For this card set, I chose to use the Laser Cut Elements as embellishments. To help with assembly, I separate all of these from their packaging and then divided them into like items in various trays. This way when I go to look for something in the ephemera it’s arranged in an order I can pick through easily.
The frames in the Laser Cut Elements were just begging to be made into a shaker card! But to keep with the theme and softness of the paper, I used a piece of tulle instead of acetate to seal the gems in. Didn’t it turn out so cute?
Overall, designing these cards was so much fun to make and I hope I’ve given you a few techniques to try when making your next card or layout! What do plan to make with the Echoes of Time Collection?
