Phew - that was close! In my post-Convention haze, I realised it was Wednesday, but had momentarily forgotten that midnight tonight is the cut-off for challenge entries over at Just Add Ink! Just went in to my craft room, and whipped up a card using the last of my watercoloured images from last month's stamp group - you know, the Asian Artistry series that has been getting a real work-out on my blog?!
Hubby has deemed my card "bland", so I have a feeling some of you, dear blog readers, will like it! Historically, any cards Andrew doesn't like have proven to be quite the opposite in 'female eyes'. Here it is, in its full photographed-at-night time glory:
... and here's a close-up of the tag, to show I stamped off the rose image a couple of times, then stamped it on a Very Vanilla tag. The little flowers were punched from Mellow Moss card that had been stamped in En Francais. Of course I sponged around all the edges!
Hmm, now that I see the close-up, I can see a brad prong sticking out (bugs me, but I'm not re-doing it!). If I hadn't have mentioned it, would you have noticed??
Here's a list of products used to make this card:
Stamps: Asian Artistry, En Francais, Trendy Trees (sentiment)
Card: Kraft, Rose Red, Mellow Moss, Very Vanilla, Watercolour Paper
Ink: Jet Black Staz-On, Rose Red stampin' pad and marker, Mellow Moss stampin' pad and marker, Regal Rose marker
Other: Aquapainter, sponge daubers, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Lots of Tags sizzlits die, Mellow Moss taffeta ribbon, Trio Flower Punch, Rose Red brads, mini glue dots, dimensionals
Beautiful I love that set and I didn't notice until you point it out. It is sooooo tiny....
