TIP: Choose a bold uncomplicated shape for this type of design ....... this was my second choice of image as the first was too intricate and drove me stir crazy trying to piece the negative back together again!!
I also want to share a couple of cards I've received recently from some wonderful blog buddies, this first is from Lynn @ The Mango Boys and Me and it came in with the blog candy I won recently. I love the narrow veneer strip the the acorns are stamped on and that touch of misting is just perfect :)
I managed a little bit of crafting yesterday on World Card Making Day but with the impromptu heatwave we are having at the moment, things got a little uncomfortable in the craft space, call me a killjoy but I'd like the normal Autumnal weather to return!
Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of the sunny weekend X

Your cricut card si STUNNING - I must get my machine out more often - it does just tend to sit unloved under all the crap on my desk and I forget how useful it can be. This is brilliant!

ReplyDeleteHi Jenny
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my Handy Hippo post .. .. you do need to give your gems time to dry after their promarker treament. But it doesn't take very long.
The colours that need several coats need to dry inbetween layers too.
Hope this helps.
Love Jules xx
Your card is stunning, Jenny, and I really love Lynn and Vicky's cards, too!
ReplyDeleteI love your card with its strong graphic feel. Glad you liked the card! Vx
