I'm in love with your cards. :P

A favourite of favourites. This one is just too beautiful.
:iconweedlace:
Again, a beautiful moodiness. And the eyelets hold the boundaries so well. I have eyelets in the shape of pigs (pink)...I feel a resurrection coming up....
:iconhogret:
Piglet eyelets - oh my! Yes, use them, use them.
(I had a brief - very brief - foray into scrapbooking, and have a lot of fairly kitsch supplies left over from then. Trying to use them in interesting ways.)
:iconhogret:
Ditto for yours!
:iconhogret:
I'll post a tutorial soon. But a quick overview: the metal tape comes from the hardware store. It's used for repairing metal roofs. It's silver (aluminium?) with a thick sticky tarry black gunky backing. You burnish it down on the card, and it's thick enough that you can press shapes or designs into it. The acetate is an OverHead Transparency sheet that I printed a picture on.

<3 Thanks.

I have those same supplies, I am betting, although I still actively scrapbook, especially when I am in a space where dry work is the thing. It makes people so happy to have that visual record. My little girl looks back at her "music book" and marvels at the transformation. She started playing clubs at 13 and now, at 18, has a recording contract and she and the band are on the cusp of releasing a new record, touring, etc. My mid-girl loves her middle-school pictures for the same reason--the transformation. And MY golf-shoed son (!) loves the shots of his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle parties at six and seeing his various hijinx documented. They say they're going to show their kids...It's also a good way to journal, I've found. AARGH, babbling...stopped.
