Hi everyone, I hope you're enjoying your weekend.
I'm multi tasking and have washing on, muffins in the oven and am about to get stuck into some much overdue housework!
I used my new Spellbinders die for the borders in this card. I was going to lay them parallel with each other but decided I liked the offset look better.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Freshly Made Sketches where they are celebrating their 200th challenge!
Congratulations!
I turned the sketch on it's side and used a curvy line instead of straight so hope that's ok.
At A Blog Named Hero it's a Clean and Simple theme.
At CASology the theme is number.
My borders and numbers were die cut using snippets of silver shimmer paper and black card, so I'm also visiting the playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop,
you only need 1 scrap or snippet to play along.
Supplies:
Stamps: Hero Arts Find Joy sentiment; Darkroom Door butterfly.
Dies: Spellbinders A2 curved borders 1; Memory Box Parker numbers.
Other: versafine ink & clear ep; prismacolor pencils; bling.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x
