A challenge card
Hi everyone
Well, I did get a card made this afternoon. I nipped upstairs while Bob & Gareth were watching the rugby. It's a card for a challenge at CD Sunday, where the theme was scallops.
I nearly didn't make it as the challenge closes tonight in time for a new one tomorrow. All week I had been saying to myself I should get on & make it, but this lethargy just got in the way.
Here is the card;
The shapes were cut with some new dies I have which I bought from Purple Butterfly Crafts & I can't remember the make. They aren't Nestabilities.,
I cut the base card with the largest of the dies & then cut the layers with each of the smaller dies.
The papers, borders, little flower & main image were all off a My Craft Studio set of CD's.
I just can't get over how realistic the roses look in the main image. I haven't done any decoupage - it is just a flat image. It shows how good the photography is. That is - that done by MCS - not my me. Mind you that's not too bad either this time.
The hardest part was running the folded card through the Big Shot to cut the base card. I had chosen quite a thick card & it really was hard to run it through.
Tomorrow I mus start making some more stamped birthday cards. Also I want to start putting together a box of craft things to take on holiday. I always take something even if it doesn't see the light of day. If I didn't have it I would want to do something. Well you would wouldn't you.
Enjoy this lovely sunshine.
More tomorrow
