Recently I was pointed to this video, in it the lady decorates and paints some die cut tickets.
Aren't they the loveliest tickets you have ever seen? I immediately wanted to buy the die....
BUT THEN..
the wonderful Dana made this video showing how to make blank tickets without the need for a die..
All you need are strips of card, a pattern wheel and a hole punch..simples.
So I made loads of them, some in smooth card and some in watercolour paper.
I contacted Dana to say how brilliantly simple her way of making them had been, and asked if she wanted to swap some.
These are the ones I made for her, the flower ones are more vintage style and are on watercolour paper. The bottom ones are more modern and funky, done with markers on smooth card.
Here are the gorgeous tickets that Dana sent back to me. I just love them, thankyou.
working so small is definately a challenge, but I love how they all turned out.
why don't you give it a go, and better still swap some with a friend.
