This one caused my sideline, Eileen (the glitter guru) to quip that the sentiment should read
"Wish you were.... on the other side of the world"
Bad day Eileen?
She is a hoot!
All these cards were made at my upline's house Wednesday night during our meeting. We drew sketches out of a hat and had to make cards with the stamp sets and paper we brought - I only brought vanilla and black stuff. Wasn't expecting to make more than one card but had plenty of time.
This was the first one I did - a warm up card - not crazy about it but it is fine and I'll use it... someday.
Silly upline had two of this set - guess who got the second one? SCORE!
New Hostess set available in July - isn't it great?
Do you like that element to the right of the sentiment?
I stamped the main image again - punched it with the 1.75 circle -
put that on the sentiment block and then trimmed it down to fit
It filled the empty space and matched the rest of the card.
I thought it was clever and was quite proud of myself.
Some days are like that.
Very nice card. I really like the last one with the hydrangia. TFS!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards!! My pre-order FINALLY arrives today and I can't wait!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh YES! The joy of new toys!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun Jeannie
Yes, I too love the last card... what a great idea, tks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove 'em ALL - even the 1st one that you're not crazy about :) But that idea to put the partial circle of the focal element on the sentiment tag absolutely takes the CAKE! Love CASEing all of your ideas :) Thanks for keepin' up coming! ((HUGS)) Gail

Yes, i think you are clever too - very clever! Loved the card with the hydrangea. I love your punched work too and have tried to re-create some of them (need more punches, though!) Keep up the good work.
