Magnet Card

One of our class assignments was to make a card with a clay magnet embellishment that we stamped on. This is the card I came up with.
For the background paper I lightly brushed tinted gesso over a scrap of pattern card stock. When it dried I stamped it in a random direction with my heart stamp. I used part of a Bic magnet that I bought over a decade ago  when I was making my own magnets. It is a flat rubberize magnet which is perfect for on a card. The best part of the magnets too are that they really stick.

I'm not sure I like the orange I used but I thought since there is orange in the pattern to go with it. Perhaps I should have used part of a lighter orange color and the same with the yellow.

Thank you for looking and leaving comments. Wishing you Happy Frugal Crafting until we meet again!.

  2. Awesome. The orange does match the paper so it goes well. I love orange anyways. Great way to embellish.
