Hello and welcome to the weekend crafty friends. Today I'm sharing my design for the latest card swaps I participated in with the Crazy Crafters.
I totally lost track of time and needed to create 10 cards in one evening to post the next morning. So it was #loveitchopit to the rescue.... but then as i always seem to do when it comes to swaps, I add elements and detail that afterwards I'm thinking "what was I thinking?"
Things started simple enough, a strip of Pale Papaya cardstock and a strip of Friendly Hello DSP. Next I stamped bird image from the Friendly Hello stamp set, then die cut before adding the sentiment from Friends are like Seashells stamp set.
Right about now is where I lost my way....when I went to add the ribbon trim I thought "things look a little bland" and began looking over my craft supplies - I know the Bloom Hybrid embossing folder will look fabulous with the floral image from both the DSP and stamp.
10 passes through the embossing machine later, hmmmm it still looks very Pale Papaya with just a black and white image? Oh yes, the random dot stamp on the DSP will bring it all together. And then I didn't stop at just a strip of ribbon, I added a little piece to poke out beneath the bird. I still surprised myself and finished all 10 cards in one evening, and they were in the mail the next day.
Then the wait to receive 10 different cards from other team members in the mail, and it was so worth it they are all so beautiful!
