I finally, finally, FINALLY got some studio time yesterday. I managed to make four cards...one of which hit the garbage.
*sigh*
I feel so rusty! ;-)
Card Number One:
Less is More's challenge this week is to use Predominately Purple. Ann at KingstonMamaCrafts created a really beautiful card which I immediately wanted to CASE! AND since purple is my Mom's favorite color and her birthday is next month...well, I just had to play along! =D
I began by cutting a piece of Eclipse Tape into two pieces. I adhered them to the cardblank, leaving about two inches between them, creating a swirl-shaped stencil and masking off the rest of the card.
I used two different purple Distress Inks to color in the gap between the two pieces of Eclipse. Then I stamped the flower three times using the darker of the two inks.
Finally I stamped the sentiment. in the same dark ink.
I wasn't not too happy with the swirl nor the way the sentiment stamped, so tune in tomorrow when I post Predominately Purple Card #2!
Supplies:
Paper: Recollections (white cardblank)
Stamps: Heartfelt Creations (Innoscents Flowers 2); Fiskars (How Many Candles set)
Inks: Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Dusty Concord, Seedless Preserves)
ETC: Stampland Chicago (Eclipse Tape)
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a crafty day!!
