DT Unik Hobby - T-Shirt Card

Just wanted to show you a card I made for a class I was teaching at Unik Hobby first in May ;)

The class' theme was folding and Confirmation.

Since I sometimes struggle to come up with some great ideas on cards for a bit bigger boys, I was so pleased to get this idea to my card from a tutorial at Create 4 Fun's Design Team Blog.

In the tut there's two tiny T-Shirts used as the main image on a card, so I "blew up" the size and made my own measurements, to create my actual card as a T-Shirt :)

You may see Create 4 Fun's "Get Shirty" tutorial here!

Size: 15 x 15 cm

Folding: T-Shirt Card

Ink: Archival Ink - Coffee, Distress Ink - Walnut Stain.

Stamps: Inkadinkado - In The Groove, Stempelglede - Til Konfirmanten.

Papers: BoBunny - Timepiece Collection "Gears", Bazzill - brown cardstock.

Embellishments: Tim Holtz - Film Strip Ribbon & Sprocket Gears, 7Gypsies - paper clips, rhinestones.

I'm entering this in to these challenges:

Ooh La La - Fancy Folds
Woodware USA - Anything Goes
I Did It Creations - Anything Goes
One Stitch At A Time - Bling it on
Sparkles Forum - Something Methal
Sugar Creek Hollow - Masculine
Totally Paper Crafts - Don't be square

Kurs på Unik Hobby Torsdag 26. Mai

Teknikk: Bladgull-/sølv

Tema: Bryllupp

Jeg har desverre ikke hele kursopplegget klart enda, men

dette er noe av det utstyret du bør ha med deg:

Underlag

Flytende lim som tørker blankt

Dobbeltsidig tape

Saks

Limpute ("blekkpute" med lim)

Svamp/finporet skrubb (spør i hobbyforretning etter dette - er litt usikker på hva det heter, men brukes for å børste vekk overflødig bladgull/-sølv, og få det blankt)

Akrylkloss

Pinsett

Litt storpensel - helst flat, men rund funker også (f.eks 6/8)

 

 

Dersom det skulle være behov for å ha med noe mer, så legger jeg det til lista i Unik-bloggen senest onsdag.

Ellers er det fullt mulig å låne av meg - og sikkert andre!

Velkommen til kurs - jeg gleder meg til nok en kurskveld!

♥♥♥♥♥

Thanks for stopping here - have a great day!
Hugs, Lena Katrine
