2 Quick Cards

I have made these cards using the Kaleidoscope Generator available from Free Craft Downloads

I haven't used it for a while so thought I would have a play with it today It is very easy to use and gives you the option to save the tiles you have made or print from your browser (The better option is to save them)
It also shows that even if you don't like to do Tea Bag Folding you can still use the tiles to make cards

Card 1

For this I used a picture of some Purple Tulips which I uploaded to the Kaleidoscope Generator and had a play with until I was happy with the pattern. (Square 8 sector 4cm size)

I saved it  to my computer then printed it on to some Photo Paper
I used 3 of the tiles and left a white border around them when cutting from the paper.
I then stuck it to a 5x7 Lilac Card
To the centre of each of the tiles I stuck a small clear square gem put on an angle to make it a diamond shape
I added a silver fine line peel off to the outer edge of each of the tiles then a wavy edge silver peel off to the edge of the white part
In the top right and bottom left corners of the card I added some more of the square gems
I also added a silver vertical Happy Birthday Peel off
 

Card 2

For this card I used a picture of a lion face which I uploaded to the Kaleidoscope Generator and had a play with until I was happy with the pattern.
(Square 8 sector 9cm size)
I saved it  to my computer then printed it on to some Photo Paper
I cut out 2 of the tiles and stuck them on to the left side of a 5x7 size cream card
To the right of them I stuck a piece of beige mulberry paper
I printed out 4 of the lion face picture (6cm x 8cm size) and decoupaged them
I added a fine line gold peel off to the edge of the decoupaged lion them then added a wavy edged gold peel off to the edge of the tiled backing, then to each corner I added an amber coloured round gem
To the right hand side on the mulberry paper I put a vertical  Happy Birthday Peel off
