Wednesday stamper challenge
I am taking part in a challenge after so long! Because of the long week end I thought I would give this a go as I really liked the brief.
Warm wishes....
I have made this card when I made my video about alcohol ink. All the instructions about the background can be found under short video clip on the right hand sidebar on my blog. Main image is from Tanda Stamps.
Sweet and simple Friendship
I told you , there will be a few cards from me...
Nestabilities
Believe it or not, but , I was thinking about why we don't have a system in the Die cutting world where we could cut out scalloped shapes since these little scalloped have taken the world of cardmaking and scrapbooking by storm...To buy punches for them, including the plain circle to mat and layer, would cost an arm and a leg, so it was out of the question.I would have had to buy how many punches? 5? 6? and witht the right plain shapes to go with it, another 5? And then, where do I keep all these as I do not have plenty of storage.So I wondered and wondered and even thought I had a brilliant idea as to think why a Die company isnt doing it! Little did I know that there is already a company(spellbinders) doing it and I wasn't the first person to have thought of that 'brilliant' idea! How sad is that? I was so happy to find out about Nestabilities but so disappointed with myself for not finding this out any sooner..(what was I thinking? I would make a fortune by coming up with this idea and giving my port folio to one of the comapanies?).Anyway, what is done is done, I have to make sure, I am the first one to come out with a super idea....I have to tell you this before I move on, when the crop-a-dile came out, I thought, there should be another one which will allows you to punch in the middle of a 12x12 page...and what happens next? I heard cropadile has got a big brother!!!So again, I failed in my attempt of coming up with what I thought was my bril idea!!Anyway.....one day, one day.........
An old fashioned girl.....
I have promised to show you my latest cards I have made but never found the time to upload.In fact my memory card reader went missing...oh yeah, missing! Can it walk? NO!so how come?Because someone keeps moving my things around....and that someone is ME.I would like to blame it on someone but honesty prevails my conscience and I have to admit, I am the culprit.I had to go get a new one and when the new one turns up, I will go a bit mad but I think I will give it to my sister, or maybe keep it in case the new one goes missing?? Good idea...now lets get started!
I have made this card using a technique on Technique Junkies website. I have used one of the cuttlebug embossing folder and the image is from Crafty Individuals. I have used Dee Grenig Blending box inkpad in shades of blue for the background embossed image. The stamped image has been inked with Distress ink(dark blue) and with a aqua flo brush, I have watered part of the image to give a suble effect. The colourful flowers are prisma pencils and sansodor. Finished off in a Basic Grey embellishemnt and some organza ribbon.

What Taslimah Means |
You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are the total package - pretty, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. |
