Back To School

 

Tiddly Inks is having a Design Team call.

 

Since school will be starting soon, I thought I'd make my granddaughter

a card to wish her well as she starts her first year in High School.

 

 

I used a 005 Zig Millennium pen to hand letter the little tag.

 

Used Glossy accents on her bright red glasses...it's hard to tell in the picture.

 

I wanted to use the black & white striped paper as a mat , however the

stripes didn't lay right without being mitered.

Mitering is joining the two edges at 45 degree angles to form a 90 degree corner.

 

I cut strips of the black &  white stripe paper adhering( use removeable adhesive) them to

the panel edges ..overlapping them at the corners.

 

 

Lift up the corner of the picture , and with an exacto knife make a diagonal cut ...see the picture above. I put a thin scrap of red paper to show you where to cut.

Throw away what parts you don't need ....you have made a perfect mitered corner!

I hope you try it. It really is easy.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 

'till next time,

Doni
