Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you are having a good week....and have completely recovered after the Christmas festivities....it was the three Kings celebration here on Monday 6th January or El Día de los Reyes Magos, better known as the feast of Epiphany and is treated like Christmas Day in Spain.
Santa doesn't take centre stage here but rather, the Three Kings shower gifts on youngsters....I suspect though that a lot of children also get gifts on Christmas Day too!
So, rather than taking down the decorations before Twelfth Night in the UK, we leave ours up to make sure that the Three Kings can find their way here!
Anyway - wishing you all a Happy and Healthy New Year!
It's that time of the week when we launch a brand new 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing discount off all crafty printable downloads until midnight today!
I decided to create a Z-Fold Bookbinding card - I'm rather enjoying making these at the moment!
I started by creating the card base from a bright pink card, two pieces of card 1 measuring 11 1/2" x 5 7/8" and the second piece measuring 3 1/2 " x 5 7/8"
Next I scored the larger piece as follows along the long side:
- 2 1/8", 4 1/4" , 5 1/2"
The card was folded and burnished and then the book binding edge was glued down to create the folded card.
I then chose a couple of turquoise papers from the Rebel Girl collection and adhered these to my card base, leaving a small amount of the pink card showing.
In my graphics software, I resized the pre-coloured Rebel Girl image and added her to a layer of pink paper from the collection along with one of the sentiments. I then printed this out along with 3 extra coloured images as I wanted to decoupage these for dimension. I've used 3D glue gel for my decoupage layers.
For some extra details I used a border die in the pink card to add the loopy edges and I die cut a flower trellis for the inside of the card along with a pink card arch for the handwritten message.
To finish off my card I added some teal confetti around the design ,sparkle, white gelly roll pen highlights and glossy accents.
Hasta luego 👋
Enjoy the rest of your day !
