Happy Friday Everyone...
...it was great fun to look at all your creative ways to use two
circles on your cards last week, I noted some great ideas and designs :0)
So what do we have in store for you this week at CASual Fridays???
This weeks challenge is to use text on your cards or projects and our
sponsor is the fabby Simon Says Stamp who have kindly offered a $25 voucher
to this weeks winner and don't forget this weeks winner will guest with us in August too :0)
I've gone with the theme of newsprint as my text
for a modern 'Congrats' style of card...
The base card is black but I've lightened the photo so you can see
the newsprint bkgd stamped in Versamark...I love the tone on tone effect it gives.
I used a combination of dies and computer to make the sentiment and the
newsprint bkgd is my trusty large Hero Arts stamp.
We have Erum joining us this week as a guest designer after winning
our June bling challenge so please hop over to the blog to check out her
card along with the Girl Fridays inspiration too and then go and get texty with us :0)
Thanks for looking

ReplyDeleteI'm with Barb. Love the negative die on the newsprint. Fabulous.
