Hi there Crafty Friends!
I'm very slow with my creating at the moment and there's a lot of quality control happening. My waste paper basket is full of rejects! I've mainly been playing with PB Cling stamps and I want the results to be perfect - but I think I need to let that go! Sometimes I find things I've thrown away and decide I really like it! Does this happen to you?
I also have a big folder of finished, but never shared stuff, so as it's a new year, I think it's time to whittle that down and share some. So here are a few.
I noticed on Loll's blog that the the GROUP of SEVEN Card-makers are playing with TORN EDGES, so it's the perfect time to share this card.
I used some of my coveted patterned paper and Pretty Pink Posh stamps to create a colourful scene.
Here is another way to create the look of a TORN EDGE - using a mask a sponging ink and stamping to create a Faux torn edge.
I used an Old Hero Arts stamp and a New Embossing Powder.
Stamp: Hero Arts Rose
Edging stamp from Kaisercraft
I'm sharing this at the following:-
I made this card during a class with Online Card Classes.
I stamped and gold embossed the an old fave Hero Arts background stamp and sponged some inks.
Then I cut the panel in to strips and randomly arranged them.
It's a fun technique and was new to me.
Stamp: Hero Arts Eucalyptus Cling Background
Pinkfresh Studio sentiment

ReplyDeleteWhat a great showcase. Love all 3. I have loads of cards that I have never shared too. It is good to see yours. Yes, I often reject things and then when I look later I am not sure why. I need to allow time to forget what the imperfection was! xx

I love these bright colors with the gold embossing! The randomness of the strips adds lots of interest!
