Altered Roll-A-Dress Card By: Beki Ward
Altered rolodex cards are a hot technique right now! Such a small surface to place artwork and embellishments on. Come join me and find out how addicting this project really is!
Supplies: Roll-A-Dress card
stencil - Color In Black & White kit (ClubStamp.com)
1. Using a pencil and the Roll-A-Dress stencil, draw the largest size onto the Land colored cardstock; cut out using scissors or Xacto knife. 2. Using the Silky Sponge, sponge copper ink onto all edges on the front and back. 3. Using black dye ink, stamp “Life is Like Art” image onto translucent cardstock. Using black dye ink, stamp “Every artist dips his brush…” sentiment onto a scrap of Land cardstock. Trim and sponge edges with copper pigment ink. 4. Using black dye ink, stamp “Art is emotion…” sentiment onto the teal side of the duplex cardstock; trim and sponge edge with copper pigment ink. Using black craft ink, stamp initial and emboss with clear embossing powder; trim. Using copper pigment ink, stamp paint brush onto Land colored cardstock; emboss with clear powder, trim.
5.
Adhere “Life is Like Art” image
at an angle on the front side of the card, off center towards the left. Adhere
“Art is emotion…” sentiment vertically along the right-hand side on the front
side. Adhere “Every artist dips his brush…” sentiment at an opposing angle near
the lower left-hand side of the “Life is Like Art” element. Using Stampin’
Dimensionals, adhere the initial element in the lower left-hand corner. Adhere
paint brush at an angle in the upper left-hand corner. 6. Mount small photo onto the teal colored side of the duplex cardstock, trim leaving a 1/16” edge. Adhere photo element on the back side of the card at a slight angle in the lower right-hand area. Using black dye ink, stamp “Virginia” stamp in the upper left-hand area and over the edge of the photo element. Color the bird with real red marker. Using the black marker, sign (or print) name in the upper right-hand corner. 7. On the front side, add two copper eyelets approximately ¼” apart (vertically) slightly to the right of the center in the upper portion of the card. Using black fiber, thread through the eyelets using a lark’s head knot; add several beads to each end of the fiber and tie a knot in the ends. (How to make a lark’s head knot: A "larks head" knot is when you fold the cord/ribbon in half, feed it through the bottom eyelet from the front; then through the upper eyelet from the back; then "string" the two opposite ends through the loop and pull until tightly secured.) 8. Using copper colored staples, staple three pieces of ribbon onto the tab of the card. Using the copper colored Sharpie, add the date in the lower right-hand corner on the front.
