Happy Saturday!!! This morning, I just HAD to participate in this week’s JUGS Challenge! I love sketch challenges. I am terribly at card layouts so they definitely help me a great deal! I used, yes again, WPLUS9 Designs FUNKY FOLIAGE. I started off by dry embossing my card with my cuttlebug using the Birds and Swirls embossing folder and using a sponge dauber, sponged over the image with Spring Rain ink. I saw that Kristin used a few circle punches to create a hill, so that is what I attempted to do using some digi paper from My Time Made Easy store. I know, hers… Way better! LOL. I heat embossed the tree image and cut it out because the original image I stamped directly onto the card stock didn’t turn out all that great (shhh, don’t tell)…… I paper pierced the top of the hills. Used Heather Nichols’ Fillable Frame set for the die cut and sentiment and tied a ribbon in a knot (since bows are just out of my league)….. And since my edge distresser STILL has not turned up, I had to use a steak knife to edge distress the circle, LOL!!!
Off to attempt to find some 100 watt day light bulbs for my light box. I am hoping that will be the cause of the yellow pictures. I have an SLR camera, I shouldn’t have such problems…. Grrrr….
Don’t forget about my stamp giveaway. Just three days left.
Cuteness! Loved how you used a steak knife for the edges….way to go on being creative!
OOoh you are on a cuteness streak. Creative thinking to use that steak knife for distressing, I like the paper pieced hills.
