Hi everyone - hope you're having a great weekend. It's been lovely here today, lots of sunshine and shopping - nothing to dislike there!
It's my turn to act as hostess for Our Creative Corner, and my first challenge is to Get Wordy! Simply stamp a sentiment stamp repeatedly to create your own background or layer for your card.
I made this card for my Nana's birthday earlier this month. The image is paper pieced and coloured with SU! markers. I hand stiched around my wordy layer - I still can't get the hang of my sewing machine on cardstock!
As usual I used offcuts of paper on the inside of the card as a simple decoration.
I hope you'll join us at Our Creative Corner this week and have a go at getting wordy!
Colour Combo: Blushing Bride, Going Gray Stamps: Birthday Princess (MFT) Paper: Basic Grey Dies: Nestabilities (Spellbinders) Punches: Scallop Edge, Word Window (SU) Other: Grey Ribbon, Mat Pack, Brads, Markers (SU) Glitter (Martha Stewart)
Sarah, I'd have to say this challenge was a little bit of a struggle for me. But, thank you for making me 'work' at this. (in a good way). You always have some clever cards, and fun things to show us! Thanks
