The challenge this week over at Daring Cardmakers is....
SEEING SILHOUETTES
and being a big fan of white space cards.....this was going to be a doddle..
so far so good but famous last words and all that springs to mind
so far so good but famous last words and all that springs to mind
Scalloped Cards....Craftwork Cards
Background stamped with Hero Arts CQ170 Wildflower Garden
Background stamped with Hero Arts CQ170 Wildflower Garden
and lightly inked with TH Distress Ink....Pumice Stone
Sentiment: Hero Arts CL140...Thinking of You
Ribbon: American Crafts
Gems from stash
Brimming with confidence now and getting far too big for my boots....I started making a whole batch of cards for sending out with Penny Black Saturday prizes and simple has to be the name of the game when it's mass production mode.....so I stamped the cute images on the front with the sentiments and then stamped the rest of the sentiments inside and wrote the greetings....so far so good.
Out with the Promarkers and coloured in the stamped images and oh disaster.....far too cocky by half and well and truly brought down to size.....do you ever get the impression that the crafty gremlins are out to get you...because I totally forgot that Promarkers bleed through cardstock.....go on have a good giggle....I did.
I am not wasting a whole load of coloured images.....so I will trim them down and mat them onto fresh cards but if you are having a crafty day....look out for those pesky gremlins.
Catch up with you all later

Hi Kath and Buddy, hope its a little cooler for you. Well Kath the card is so lovely and clean looking wonderful and yes it was funny your other card but could you not put another piece of card cut with a nice nestie over it with another little word. Saves wasting your card.
ReplyDeleteLove to all Jo xxxx
I love the subtle shading the Distress Ink gives to your silhouette card. And what a shame about all those cards. At least they are rescu-able - but they looked so cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the silhouette card...it's gorgeous...have a great Sunday...I am still recovering from yestedays party but I suppose we better get up as it's the actual birthday today!!! Kirstixxx

Fabulous silhouette card - love the softness of the shading and the gingham looks great. Shame about the little mishap on your PB cards - I too thought it was stamped on the inside until you explained.

I don't see a thing wrong with Mr. Mojo......love both of these, and those adorable mice made me chuckle. Must find some PB stamps!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful silhoutte card Kath!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing!
Elegant and cute on the same post! Love it! and them!
ReplyDeleteWhoopsi lol, why don't you just mat something on the inside to cover up the image and then stick a flower or something over the bit that bled on the Hugs and Kisses sentiment etc then you won't waste all your cards ?? just an idea lol
ReplyDeleteHugs
Absolutely love the silhouette card Kath . Look forward to seeing you tomorrow - is buddy coming too ?

Hi Kath,
ReplyDeleteI thought god she's clever, she's put a silhouette on the inside of her card. I love your Penny Black creation and a clever lady like you will be able to create something to cover it up, don't forget to show us if you do.
And your Hero Arts creation is stunning and I always love the images you use.
Happy crafting

Love your silhouette card Kath. Gives me an idea because the first idea that came into my head was along the lines of Wedgewood lol! After seeing your card I have more ideas.
ReplyDeleteFunny day here. Miserable then turned really lovely. But about 2.30 I heard rain and raced out like a gazelle (ok laugh)to rescue washing. After I got some down it turned torrential. My waterproof jacket was soaked through. I had to put my skirt and top in the drier. Within an hour it was lovely again. Hubby was in at daughter's flat in Aberdeen and says no rain there! Why me!!!?
Kat xx
lovely cards.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in my blog candy give away,
Good Luck.
