Hi! How is everybody doing? Keeping busy here as normal! LOL! Lots going on... still in the middle of my craft room renovation. Some items on back order, but feeling a billion pounds lighter... There are stacks of things everywhere waiting to get put away and organized when the cabinets come in ... but so many things I got rid of. Things I was saving for.. "Some Day". I'm trying to stick with the items I use the most. It broke my heart to get rid of all my fancy paper punches... but my wafer thin dies take up so much less space and I use them much more often - every day often. The punches? Not so much.. I just hope they find a happy home and someone loves them as much as I did!! LOL!!!
A new challenge begins today at Fusion Card Challenge! You can work from the inspiration photo or the sketch..whatever moves you. Feeling clever? Put them together like I did! The shapes on the sketch are just for reference, a circle doesn't have to be a circle. I was inspired by the bright red and yellow of the photo! I wasn't feeling so "flowery". It's cold and windy here and I'm thinking spring. I thought these strawberries (an oldie but a goodie) would do the trick. Yep! More Basic Grey paper - totally addicted I must say! What ever happened to October Afternoon? Anybody know? Gosh I miss them!
I originally stamped my strawberries on the pattern paper. They got a little lost - no problem. I just stamped them a second time on white card stock, fussy cut them and layered them over the original. Sometimes when mixing pattern papers the layers get lost - to help define them a little better I added distress ink to the edges, and matted one of the pieces on a solid pink card stock panel.
