Mechanical cards - Michelle

Hi everyone, 

This week will be all about "mechanical" cards, you know.. those cards that will move/rotate/flip when you open them. And I must say that, once again, the DT did a great job, especially as it's not easy to photograph. 

Those cards are nicer when you hold them and see them "in action". Still, they pulled it off once again :)

This week, the DT has based their work on Kathy Byrne's PDF, which you can download HERE.
It is made such a way that you can print it and fold it and you will have a little A5 booket. 

Bear in mind though, that these instructions were meant to be used in classes, where you can actually see the project and therefore understand better. 
But hopefully, the samples from the DT will help you out a bit. 

Let's start with Michelle today and a super cute girly never ending card

Make the base of the card with 4 rectangles (3" x 6") Stamp the images on watercolour paper and colour with distress inks thinned with water. Choose and cut your papers. Ink edges. Glue the papers to the base and decorate with flat embellishments and add some stamped sentiments.

And here I played a bit. Mini never ending cards. 3" x 3". Made from watercolour paper, some drawings and Distress inks.
