Today I needed some time out and chose to get into my craft room and create. An old favourite came off the shelf and paired with an old favourite masking/sponging technique and a new colour combo from
Color Throwdown Challenge, I've spent some happy time.
We used
In This World for a
retiform card recently and a friend of mine,
Carolina Evans, also used it for her Onstage Swap in Melbourne. This stamp set has some interesting images, so I plan to get some more use from it, just in case it retires.
I was glad I remembered to attach a strip of this Sizzix Multipurpose Adhesive strips to the card before I cut 'lovely' with the
Lovely Word Thinlets. It sure does make it a lot easier to adhere to your project.
The stamped sentiment is from Dragonfly Dreams, and as it is photopolymer, it could have been curved more to match the die cut 'lovely'. Sometimes these ideas come after you've put ink to paper!!!
Frog Tape, a low adhesive painter's tape, is what I use for masking. Before I stick it to the project, I also remove some more of the 'stick' by applying it to my clothes. It is very effective and doesn't usually lift any paper.
This verse inside is part of a kind of funny/witty set of stamps,
Five For All. I could have added the second part "Just Like Me", but haven't on this occasion. When the sentiment is on two separate stamps, it gives more options for mixing and matching. I have a large number of birthdays through December and January, so I hope to get back in here for some more crafting soon.
What do you think you would make with this colour palette from
Color Throwdown?
Remember that if you shop in my
online shop on Monday 27th November, there will be NO SHIPPING CHARGE, for 24 hours only. But, as well as a gift in the mail from me for ordering and using the Host Code, I will send you a birthday card to send to someone else.
