Starburst: Good Luck (2)

Description

Please check out my other cards at [link]

---

A variation on the starburst series - since I had paper left from the radial pattern cut-out, I decided to use it for another good luck card, again for another friend going overseas (EVERYONE’S LEAVING. :( )

Anyway, I changed the orientation of the card to landscape, to make it different, and pasted the pattern on. The cardstock is a glittery light blue. The ribbon banner is made from strips of paper cut from pages of an old Kinokuniya Christmas catalogue (coincidentally, there was a part of an Archie Comics cover in my set of cut-outs, and this friend LOVES Archie Comics. Unfortunately it was covered up by the other elements). Tracing paper, cut to shape, was pasted over it to soften the colours.

Like in the previous card, the letters for the name ‘Jo’ were hand-drawn with reference to the Varsity font, with some variations. They were then outlined in black Aqualip and white Signo pens (this is another new love of mine) to imitate the look of the font. I also traced ‘good luck’ from my comp screen using the font The Quickest Shift, then cut it out and pasted it onto kraft paper and cut a banner out of that too, before putting it all together on dimensional adhesive.

It’s a real pity the glittery parts don’t show up in photos, because they look amazing. :)

this is really cute; I would love to get a card like this if I was leaving somewhere! It's so detailed, yet simple too. Nice job!
