A square card



Passion for ProMarkers challenge 358- hip to be square - I used AquaMarkers for my cute elephant- typical me I coloured the elephant first and then had to search through my stash to find some papers - I never learn.

I took this pic on Monday when it was rainy and gloomy so the colours look a bit faded with the flash on the camera, I have'nt been able to turn it off despite pressing all the flash buttons on my camera.

Cute as

 
I've just noticed I haven't removed the backing on the sticky tape across the bottom of the planter. We've had a lot of rain today and the sky has been heavy and dark which is not good for taking pics. The colours are sage green cardstock -very pale pink for the circle and the sentiment is made up from a sheet of rub-ons.

music



This was made for a music loving man in his seventies - the photos don' really pick up all burnished gold of the musical notes - it's much better IRL.

I cut away both the edges of the card leaving just the centre strip to decorate.

Big Buttons

 
 

Feeling Sketchy - 140 - I really wanted to use these chipboard buttons as they have been sitting in my stash for years , they were a bit big so I don't have much space on the right hand side.

Shades of grey X 2


 I managed to stamp this on linen look paper - not an easy job - I love the way it comes out after adding some shade.




This one was stamped on plain white card stock - very smooth- the stamping came out very evenly.

Stamping Boutique have a lovely video tutorial for this stamp set - see it here - it's well worth a visit

About 8 months ago I won a prize of   $30 to spend at a craft shop - every time I found a product I liked it was always out of stock - so my prize money sat there until a few weeks ago when I purchased Altenews 'Lacy Scrolls ' , this stamp set has 2 solid flowers and 18 leaf / scrolls . I used them to make both cards.
