Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog: Swirls and Pearls
Challenge ends on June 30th, Challenge Sponsor
Hello, Cardies! My daughter celebrated her birthday on June 2nd and this is the card I made for her! I love this image from The Stamping Boutique's Smooch Series and thought it would be perfect for Stace! I got some interesting papers and wanted to play around with mixing and matching the different textures. So the base dp is a wood grain, the next layer up is a grass, and the third layer is a linen. I don't know if it translates so well in the photo, but in "real life" it is a very cool look. My daughter loves it.
I also wanted to see how closely I could match the colors in my handmade flower to the colors in my dps and ribbon. I was super pleased with the result and I am now playing with color combination and different colors and weights of paper. I have prepared a tutorial on making the flowers, but I am submitting it with a card to an online magazine and won't be able to post it here until after the project is published.
I am still working on coloring black hair. Actually, I am working on coloring in general. I keep signing up for classes and since they are available to me online, I go in and work on my skills as my time allows. My other new passion is seam binding. Hancock Fabric had a huge sale and I picked up a bunch, but I found a better deal on Amazon, and I also found a tutorial on using glimmer and matte mist to custom color seam binding.
My teammates have created fabulous projects for this challenge (They even remembered to include Swirls; I sure didn't). I looking forward to seeing you there!
Big Hugz,
Chana
