Variations

    Different sizes
    Try different card sizes. Whatever size you want to create, make your card base a bit smaller and then let your image stick over so much that it will end at the regular height of that card size.

One more thing...Would you let me know the name of those lovely papers you used? I know it is from Basic Gray, but what is the specific name? I ordered the circle and scallop Nestabilities to use on my Cuttlebug. I hope that works! Thanks again Beate. I love your work.

Leslie,
Check my gallery upload. I listed all my card supplies there. The Basic Grey paper pack that I used is called Periphery.

Yes, I remember you saying that on the tutorial, but I couldn't hear the word clearly; now I get it.
How did you airbrush that background? I have always wanted an airbrush , and maybe this is the project that will allow me to let myself get one! Thanks a million.

Hi Beate, I have ordered everything to make this card except the ribbon from May Arts. I am wondering what width you used. The color appears to be a real red. Also, when I go to May Arts on-line it looks as if it is only for wholesalers. Where can I purchase this ribbon by the spool? Thanks Beate, I love your tutorials and your work.

Hi Beatte,
I am finally ready to make this card. One question: Did you stamp your circles before or after you embossed them?I just got my Wizard and am wondering what order to do things. Was it cut, stamp , emboss, color? Thanks.
