"A
fun little project to finish using up one of the credit cards you've been
painting with.
The
cards I'm using are blank ones - I've long since used up my supply of old cards
- but if you are using an old printed card, just layer on the paint more
thickly".
Paint
the card with a basecoat of Snowflake.
Stamp
the "thread card" from HP1214 in StazOn Ink black.
Stamp
some little buttons in the middle from the button corner stamp and cut out.
Turn
over and stamp and paint the back (this is an asymmetrical image so it fits
perfectly)
Stand your heat gun on the table, switch it on
and then heat up the corner of the image. As it heats the plastic softens and
you can curl and bend it to add a bit of dimension. Repeat on the lower corner.
Finish with last embellishments and a brooch
back.

What a great way to use up old cards. I love how you've moulded and curled it. Thanks for some fab projects Helen.
Love your thread card with buttons as a gift. And so nicely presented. A beautiful brooch which you should proudly wear.

Love the dimension you get from the curling - such a cool embellishment!

That is so lovely Helen.
BTW the blog reader link to the blog posts is still not working correctly.
I still have plenty of cards that I could use in this way, what a great upcycling idea !
This is beautiful Helen! Thanks for all your fab inspiration this week!
