DT for Tutti Designs, Golf Bag.

Hello and welcome to Friday with my DT for Tutti Designs.
Each and every Friday I will be sharing a Tutti Designs Project with you.
Today is Golf Bag, TUTTI-117.



Great Golf bag for men and women golfers.
Mens cards are always difficult and i must admit not my favourite cards, so this die makes it easy for you.



Cut the die twice, once with silver mirror card and then with the check card which I just cut the clubs off and glued together and then backed with a bit more mirror card to show though the cut outs on the bag. Added shape and dimension with a matt and ball tool. Also a little Distress Ink Vintage Photo to the edges.



Then with a background I had in my stash, layered up the card and mounted the golf bag on 3D foam onto the card, then added a sentiment to finish.


Hope you like the card.
