I have had some fun today, but I have to say my creative mojo is a bit lacking and I seem to have slowed down in the speed at which I create things - a day to make 2 cards isn't very speedy lol. But I enjoyed making them and that is the important thing.
I made this card with three challenges in mind - The Friday Mash Up, CAS-ual Friday, and Less Is More. I struggle with the Less is More challenges, I don't often like leaving large spaces unfilled in my cards, but with the sketch at the Mash Up I thought I might be able to pull it off ... let me know what you think.
The Friday Mash Up this week was to use the sketch and/or use water painting. Now while I didn't actually use water colouring with the card, the DSP I chose for the top note does look like a water colour, so I guess that sort of counts! To attach the Cherry Cobbler bakers twine I wrapped it around the card and through a small hole punched in the spine of the card, it did have a little bow but I accidentally cut it off when trimming the ends lol.
Added for clarification: The Less Is More challenge was to use a single word sentiment, in this card I chose the 'create' that comes from the Creative Elements stamp set, and paired it with the frame stamp from the same set.

Happy Stamping

Wow this is beautiful! You did a fantastic job. Is the 'create' sentiment a stamp? Where could I find that?
ReplyDeleteSuper card Monique!

Hi Mon, I know what you're saying about struggling to do a less is more card. You have managed to pull it off here though. Love that Paisley DSP.
ReplyDeleteI like your take on our sketch this week too and I'm so glad you found enough Mojo to join in.
Hope you and your family had a sensational Christmas and that the new year will be awesome.
