Yes, I'm still loving this Sands of Time set. I cut the "cloud" Bubble Labels die in half lengthwise to use as a border for this card.
Martha Stewart microbeads are glued on top of the "sand" in the hourglass.
On top of the microbeads I have a layer of acrylic. I was pretty stumped for awhile on how to get the acrylic on top. If I stamped on the acrylic, the sand portion of the image would obscure the microbeads. Inking around the edge of the stamp would be too difficult, especially on the ends where the edge meets the sand. So finally I laid the plain acrylic over a stamped hourglass, traced the outline with a permanent marker, and then cut around the traced lines. It looks pretty neat in real life.
This card is interactive! Each layer of the heart die is adhered to its own layer of plastic (left over from a sheet of photo protectors that I cut apart). The music note is also on a layer.
As you flip through the layers of plastic, you uncover the "song" in my heart.

ReplyDeleteawesome! love the microbeads!
ReplyDeleteSuch cool cards, Kelly! I love all the thought you put into your fabulous creations!
ReplyDeleteWhat a VERY COOL card! Love those micro beads :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic interactive card! I love it! What adhesive did you use for the pieces on the plastic?
ReplyDeleteHi Lagene! The entire set of plastic is sewn together, but I've used my Scotch ATG to attach it to the card base so I could position it just right. The pieces have tiny amounts of ATG on them too, so don't look perfect from the other side of the plastic. I probably could have used a vellum adhesive if I wanted that to look better. Thanks for your comment!
DeleteKelly! These are so fantastic. Using the microbeads just rocks and the song of my heart so perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove these fun cards - great way to use the microbeads!
