Papercrafts Gallery Idol 2012 - round 4


Happy Monday everyone! I’m here today with my card for round 4 of Gallery Idol! I'm thrilled to be continuing on in the competition! Thank you for all of your votes that helped me get this far!

I couldn’t have done it without you

This week our challenge was to create a card which incorporates a household item. I took a quick look around my house for something I could use for my card and the idea came to me under the shower! lol! I decided to cut an old shampoo bottle. That’s the one I used:

bottle

I used a craft knife to remove the top and bottom of the bottle, and then I cut the remaining cylinder vertically into 2 strips. The next step was to draw two feather shapes and cut them out. To make them more feather-like I used small scissors to cut slits down each side. Here is a close up of the feathers:

I couldn’t have done it without you
