I'm not sure what's been going on lately, but I just haven't really felt like making much. I've tried taking a break from cardmaking. So far, that hasn't really worked. So I thought, maybe I'd try a challenge. I went with
Dawn's colour challenge. The colours I used were New Leaf, True Black, and Vintage Cream.
The challenge helped, somewhat... I made one card, but that's it. It was a quick one too. Perfect for ten minute Monday though.

I love all the handmade flowers I've been seeing, so I made a few using a few stamped die cuts and some hand cut, crimped leaves. I cut into each petal to make it more dimensional, then popped up each layer. The leaves were cut out, then I folded them in half and ran them through a crimper.
Supplies:
Stamps: Friend By Definition, Birthday Basics
Paper: Vintage Cream, New Leaf, True Black Bitty Dots
Ink: True Black
Accessories, etc.: Corner Rounder, Blossoms die, button, crimper, pop dots, twine, ribbon
I love how simple and gorgeous this is! Those leaves are so neat!

ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh, I love your take on Dawn's challenge. This is an awesome card. I just may have to case it. what exactly are people using for the text background if you don't have a text stamp - - - any suggestions from anyone out there?
