I had so much fun yesterday recreating Jan B's Dressing Table card using the Bridge Fold. If you haven't seen the video, check it out
HERE!
I finished the one I was making during the video during the afternoon - it's the one on the left. I added the sequins I mentioned as the draw handles and also fussy cut some make up brushes, pots and two bags from the Best Dressed DSP - they are the perfect size for this card and I think they really finish the dressing table off nicely.
I also made another card in a different size after watching a video by Juanette Hewitt, a SU Demo in the USA. This one makes up a 7"x5" card, and I loved the way she had turned it into a craft desk so just HAD to give that a go. I know the proportions are totally out of whack, but it's not meant to be a true representation but a bit of fun!
I stamped the images from the It Starts With Art and Crafting Forever stamp sets, both of which are retiring so I wanted to give them a Last Hurrah, and coloured them using the Stampin' Blends (on a side note about the Blends, the pens themselves are not retiring but from 3rd June 2020 they will only be available as the Light & Dark Combo Packs and not in individual shades). I also added a little pile of sequins on the desk from one of the accessory sets we had in this years Sale-A-Bration Catalogue for a bit of extra dimension.
