New News..... New Card

Hi everyone and I am so very glad to be back, after nursing a really bad shoulder for a month, doing what I love, making cards, but first I have some great news to share.  I have been asked to be a Design Team Member for Through the Purple Haze!!!!  

You have got to come visit and see all of the awesome cards that are made by some really great talented team mates!!!!  It is really a fun place and I know you will enjoy visiting and entering our challenges.   So let's get going here!!

Since I have been off for a month I really enjoyed making this card. So here is the materials I have used and a little about how it was done.

I started with a 12x6 piece of white cardstock and cut the heart with my Zing cutter in the front of the card.
I used the dotted Pattern paper from a 6x6 Pad, Dots and Stripes by Echo Park and cut the heart shape in that also, but fussy cut after tracing the original heart to be sure it would line up exactly.
The heart trims, front and back of the heart, was cut from 2 doilies.  The small hearts were parts of the doily also.
The image is from Sassy Studio Designs and she is "Fire Pole Girl SSD 628". She is a real cutie!!!
I printed the image twice, but the second one was a mirror image so they would match when I put them on the spinner cord, which is monofilament fishing line, and I colored them with my Copic Markers. 
 I used my Xyron to run the images through and put the monfilament line exactly center from top to bottom and also put the line between the dotted paper and the white cardstock being sure they were centered also so she would turn.  (Be sure to use good adhesive tape to secure line if you should make a spinner.)
I then cut some flames, 4 sets also, so when I put them on the inner strip they would also line up and match exactly.
I glued the other end of the strip on the inside of my card with the sentiment.
Added some flowers from my stash and that was the finishing touch. 

I will say, this took some time because of it being a spinner and having to line up exactly all the pieces so when you looked at the front of the card you would only see the Firehouse Girl on the pole.  Fun, Fun, Fun!!!
