It's been a while since I uploaded a card, just for the sake of posting a card that I'd made. So no special technique here. I used the Spellbinders Rose borderabilities petite for the embossing. The sentiment is by My Sentiments Exactly and stamped using Memento dye ink. I used the Fiskars Upper Crest border punch to make the corner cuts.That's it for now. We'll be heading out to dinner later tonight to celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary. And stay tuned because I'll make a craft-related announcement either late tomorrow or early Monday. :-)
It's Friday. The weather's been crummy. What a great time for working on a challenge! This week's daring cardmakers challenge is Plastic Fantastic. Here's the dare from Rhi: I dare you to look again at the plastic packaging around you and transform it into a brand new card. It could be food packaging, craft packaging or just something plastic that's destined for the bin or recycling. Trim it, die cut it, alcohol ink it, crop-o-dile it, give it a new lease of life then share it via your blog for us all to see. Happy Recycling! Perfect! I have some plastic packaging that I can put to good use for this one. Sometimes it's good not to be too organized and get things out to the trash. This first card features a piece of craft packaging that I embossed with the Bloom Dots Cuttlebug folder. The sentiment is by My Sentiments Exactly.
I couldn't resist making one more card from plastic destined for the recycle bin. For this one I used the nightingale and swirls from a stamp set by Inque Boutique. The sentiment is by Hero Arts. The decorative border was made using a Fiskars border punch.
Who knew that recycling could be so much fun? :-)
