Breaking News: I found a new
CHALLENGE! Taylored Expressions (TE) started their own crafty challenge & although
I still don't have many or their products (yet), I love their stamps & so I
had to create something especially for this challenge!
My friend Marta celebrated her birthday
last Saturday and so I needed a cool/hip/retro card (all things she likes) for
the party! This is what came out (inspired by the TE sketch):
Materials used:- Scrap of craft cardstock (partially with foil embellishments)
- Black and white card stock
- All the "Happy Birthday" sentiments of all sorts of stamp sets I found in my stash
- Black & white baker's twine
The little twist here is in the
detail: I don't have a die cutting machine, so I measured & cut the M by
hand with a craft knife (I think that turned out quite ok, though it took a
little while...). The other smaller letters are from a crafting brochure (yes,
these brochures are not only great to look at, but also serve as great embellishments =) ).
This is a very different style to what I usually do, but I think it's perfect for my friend and she was very happy when she opened the envelope!!
Alright, see you soon & happy
crafting!
Yours,
Steph
