Everytime I receive a package from Altenew I think of making a card from their beautiful packaging - today I finally did it!
I found an embossing folder with the same size dots as the bubbles of the package and used that for my background. I popped the bubble wrap bubbles to flatten the packaging a bit. Added the little sentiment and a few enamel dots and done.
Not sure my colors exactly match Altenew's January Inspiration Challenge but will enter it anyway.
All for now.
Great upcycling your packaging Betty. A gorgeous card
ReplyDeleteHow did you adhere the packaged piece to your card base? I can’t get mine to stick.
ReplyDeleteI popped all the bubbles and also used a sharp pointy scissors to get the piece to lie flat. Used Bearly Art glue all over the back and then put a large acrylic block on it and let it sit for about an hour. I just checked it before writing this and it's still stuck ok. Bearly Art is the best in the world and have been using it forever.
ReplyDeleteI love the Altenew packaging and you've really made it special on this card, Betty - love the embossed dotted background to tie it together!!
