It's Only Words

The challenge this fortnight atCrafty Cardmakers & More is all about Words.

We would like to see words or sentiments as the main focal point of your card.

For my DT project I decided to share the gifts I made my Sons Pre-school teachers when he left to start big School last month.

I used Tagul to create a word cloud in the shape of an Apple and used the teachers name and the name of all the little ones that were moving onto big school to fill the shape.

I layered onto some co-ordinating card stock and then used a  free rose card wrap from Birds Cards to finish it off.

To go with this a decorated an MDF heart for each teacher.

I started by painting it with Silver acrylic paint.  Once this was dry I painted with children's PVA glue and immediately, whilst still wet, painted over with white acrylic paint.  I blasted with  my heat gun and as the glue dries it cracks the top layer of paint, allowing the silver to show through and giving a nice shabby chic finish.

I cut the words out in pink and black vinyl and then used a sparkle modge podge over the top, made a hand tied ribbon and tied around the stalk to finish.

We would love for you to come and join out challenge at Crafty Cardmakers.
