Hello blogworld,
Hope everyone is doing well.
Can you believe it's already time for another challenge over at Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog! This time it's Team Wendy's turn, so I'm officially taking part, and the theme is Gingham / Plaid.
We'd like to see a sea of gingham or plaid papers / patterns / stamps / used in images - anything you can think of to do with gingham or plaid. For me this was a proper challenge, I've no idea why but I really struggle to know what to do with gingham. You'd think I'd just use it like any other patterned paper, but I have a real block!
I eventually gave up and went really simple - this is the result:
My card:
Supplies:
Stamp (rubber):
Stamping Bella - Uptown Girl Lucille sends her love
coloured with Copics and a white pen for the polka dots
Dies:
Die-versions Whispers Torn Notebook Edge
Anything else:
Gingham paper
'moments' 3d embellishment
What I did:
Stamped the image onto marker friendly paper, coloured it with my Copics and added polka dots with a white artists pen.
Cut the coloured image out to form a large panel then die-cut the edge detail on that panel.
Cut a panel of gingham paper to fit onto my 6x6" card blank, mounted the image onto that panel and then mounted all that onto the front of the card.
Affixed the embellishment onto the top right hand side.
et voila!
Why not pop over and see what my very talented teamies have made - they are much more talented with gingham and plaid than I am! You never know, you might even fancy joining in too and I'd look forward to seeing your creation!
Still hoping to get a bit more crafting and blogging 'me' time in the near future, but who knows! This weekend is very busy is as TTT has become a local Carnival Princess and the handover from the current Carnival Queen to the new Queen and entourage is Saturday. It involves a ceremony, turning lights on and setting off fireworks! If I can get pictures I will and post them up here.
Signing off now,
See you soon,
Sarah
