Swirlydoos Scrapbook Kit Club: Another Card Tutorial by Paulien

I created this card using the Shabby Chalet kit:

And here is how it came together.

For my first layer I cut a piece of PP at 5.2 x 8.1

I laid a piece of tulle over my card, like this.

And cut it, holding it in place, and deciding how it should look, as I was cutting along.

It came out like this. The left over pieces on the right.........

I cut that piece in half and.....

started to ruffle it up

Then I wrapped a wire around it, and afterwards I clipped off the ends.

I cut a strip of PP at 1.5 x 6.5

spritzed both front and backside with water and let it sit for a moment.

Then I started to ruffle or crumble it up like in the picture. I had to do this carefully, cause the paper easily rips when it is wet.

And whilst heat setting my ruffles I pinched the middle.

I distressed the edges of my frist paper layer, glued my tulle on (using Fabri-Tac) and I hot glued my ruffled paper strip on. I only put glue in the middle of the paper strip cause I wanted to be able to tuck things in.

I cut out one of the doilies that was on the prima flower packaging and place it like this.

Then I pulled apart one of the prima flowers (that came in the kit)....

And made some smaller buds out of them. Simply by pinching 1 of the circles together and wrapping some wire around the buds

I thought they looked cute!

Then I started layering. First 1 of the circles (from the pulled apart flower) and then on top the ruffled tulle, I made earlier.

From a previous kit: I had some of that wooden fence left over, so I cut off 1 part and glued it down like in the picture. On top I glued a little piece of the pearl spray that came in the Jan kit. The little blue flower, was the center flower from the flower I took apart. (do I still make sense?)

Then I cut a few different sizes from the beaded sprays. I twisted 2 togeter....

And glued them, hanging beneath my ruffled paper strip.

I glued the little flower buds in place

And the other beaded spray, that were cut in different sizes.

I added some Stickles, in diamond, to the flowers on the paper

And some glossy accents on the buds that are printed on the paper.

Then I painted a clock icon with white acrylic paint

And glued it down, looking like it hangs on that piece of fence. Like a rod.

I added a little lace bow and a tiny baby rose.

Then I randomly added some gesso

I cut a white mat (3/4) like in the picture and glued it to the back.

For the base of my card I cut a piece of cardstock at 9 x 12, folded it double, distressed the edges and added some gesso here and there.

Then I glued everything together.

and called it done! Hope you like it.
