Card Making: Focus on your Journey

Today we are going to make a fun card that reminds us that we are all to focus on our own journey. God has a plan and a purpose for each of us, some special reason for having created each individual, and that no one else can fill your space here on earth. Not all of us reach our full potential for God's purpose, and too often it is because we allow ourselves to be sidetracked by other people's journeys. This card is meant for a friend who have forgotten how special they are.

I start the card on one of these index cards.

I will be using this old music score paper on the card.

I lather the index card with Dala Acrylic Gel Medium.

I place the music score sheets on the index card and seal it with more Dala Acrylic Gel Medium.

Once dry, I crop the edges.

Then I paint the card a transparent Copper with Bianjo Acrylic Paint.

I use some die-cuts from the Signature Collection from Art-by-Marlene.

I use an Artline marker to draw a border around the card.

I use 3D squares and tape to lift the die-cuts off the card.

That concludes the construction of the index card.

I use a white sheet of A4 cardboard as a card.

I use a bone folder to fold the cardboard in half to form a card.

I use Washi tape to create a border at the top of the card.

I use double-sided tape to adhere the index card to the card.

Then I use an Artline marker and a tearing ruler to create a wavy border around the card.

That concludes today's card making project.
