We are over the whole car thing and the feeling flumpy thing so I spent most of today away from home instead of in it. I have had no crafting time today but I finished the card for the fourth Creativity Club Challenge on Docrafts. I also experimented with my own watermark for this card! Not as good as Lynn Salmons but worth it to increase my confidence!
The host of the challenge picked a sketch with a featured panel; I had already stamped Tilda with Chicks onto just such a handcut panel so I was practically finished. I skewed the panel because I was going to mat it straight onto the yellow cardstock panel but thought the skew gave it a bit more oomph. The backing papers and the flowers in the centre of Lynne Salmons digi sentiment came from Papermanias Lemon Sorbet range; all the rest is from my stash, although the dew drops are from Papermania too. I finally remembered to edge my paper panels with an inkpad as it's supposed to afford some definition but my own internal jury is still out on this one.
Cheerio for now, I'm off to skype my eldest daughter,
Gorgeous! I really like the inked edges approach! Would love to know if it grows on you!
ReplyDeleteHi Hazel, hope you are enjoying your chat with your daughter. This is a really sweet card, love the chicks and the lilac daisy is fab. To ink the edges or not - hmmm, I sometime do and sometimes don't but it works well on this card. And, I must look out for those dew drops, they are great. Elizabeth x
