Artistic Souls Shoe Box Projects

Every other month, members of the Artistic Souls, Circle of Friends, bring a project along with instructions and supplies for other members to duplicate.  I was so inspired by these projects that I have been busy making additional cards.

The first was Merine's project.  Her design and images appear in the card on the upper left-hand side of the scan along with  the new cards I created  this week.



The second group of cards were the result of Judy's project and her design and images.   I made the card upper left-hand at club and used her basic design for the additional cards.



Barb's project I totally messed up.  We were to add glossy accents to the flower portions only which I did along with some glitter. 
W E L L my glossy accents and glitter were way excessive and the glitter overpowered the flowers.  When the card dried, I sanded down the card to remove some of the glitter and then to bring back the sheen I completely covered the black card in glossy accents.





This week I plan to try this design again and to do it the way Barb instructed; and will scan results when completed.

Below is the card I prepared for my shoe box project.  What I liked about this technique was the depth created for the card front with no additional layers added.



We have such a fun time when we meet and were treated to a very nice surprise when Inka joined us for coffee and a short visit.

We are a very close circle of friends.  They inspire me and help keep my life on an even keel.

You have been busy busy, Carolyn. I love all the layers you have created - gives your cards such depth. I thought you recovered very nicely with the project you thought you messed up. What did you use for the shine? Also love your quotes -- where do we get those these days? I had so many and am trying to find some to replace them. Any advice? Love the flower pots! Spring is coming. hugs, Donna
