A quiet and simple card for Week 28 - my focus was to use some CherryArte rub-ons that were stuck to the glossy kraft coloured backing paper ... I added some tiny pearls and an embossing folder image I had done many years ago, that is sitting at the bottom of a drawer waiting to be used up ....
As opposed to the above, an "in your face" card for using inspiration from Week 13 - I used a card I had pinned on Pinterest. It was very delicate and used pastel colours!
I stuck some sequins on, and then decided that they looked odd, so I went over the top of them with Stickles ....
This is our busy time at work at the moment so I haven't had the energy in the evenings to do any crafting. I did manage to make a card yesterday on one of my days off though. Hopefully I will be able to catch up after the manic summer.
Great cards everyone, I can only assume that the holiday season is in full swing. I had hoped to be back on a better schedule when returning to work, but am just too tired on an evening to craft properly.
Now I have a couple of weeks holiday I am hoping to get a few more cards made. Here is my take on using the colours in the photograph of the embroidery silks.
Well folks - at this stage, I am only one week behind, but haven't had a chance to blog some of the latest cards - and won't now, I don't think.
You don't get unlimited broadband access in Australia the way you do here, and I will have minimal stash to hand for the foreseeable future, so I guess I will have to call it a day for now and see what happens when I get there from about two weeks's time.
I've loved the challenges Nat - thanks so much for your hard work and hosting - always love a chance to interpret somethings a bit differently and use up some stash!
Drum roll please....... I have caught up
Here are weeks 33 (birthday), 34 (layering) and 35 (thank you). I did two 'thank you' cards, neither specifically Christmas and I didn't do a 'birthday' Christmas card either. I am especially pleased with the layered card, it started as a project from the Creative Expressions booklet, but I changed the topper. All the cards will be blogged over the next few days
