An Unusually Shaped card–and more FREEBIES added to “The Vault”

 

Day 185 – 365 Cards 

We were asked to: “Create an unusual card shape”

So I made:

Totally impractical, this card measures 6 inches tall and two inches wide – don’t put it by an open window or it will tip over and spill soda all over your carpet! 

I created a vector from a photo of the bottle, adjusted and sized it.  I traced it in my Silhouette software and asked my machine to draw it using a pen.  Then I used watercolour pencils to color, blending with a paper “stump”  I embossed the cap in black. 

 

You can’t really see it here but the liquid has glossy accents schmeared all over and its shiny. I cut the card base out of two slightly enlarged bottles which I mirrored and welded together.   Really is a cute card!  I will write “just POP-ing by to say hi!”

When I was making this card I was also cooking bacon.  Multi-tasking is my middle name.  My sister Nina was concerned I would get grease on my project but I assured her that I had a finger bowl of soapy water at hand, and that it was gentle on them too.  Remember Marge in the old Palmolive ads?  I am dating myself for sure.  In case you never had the delight – here’s one of the commercials, so fun!

By the way – something FISHY is going on over at Nina’s blog…
