The sketch at the Sketch and Stash Challenge blog this time is such an inspiring one (and easy which is always good) that I just had to give it a go. It also gave me the chance to use my new gadget bought with the last of my Christmas present cash - a Xyron Design Runner, which I used to print the sentiment on this card.
Initially I was a bit miffed that it doesn't actually do the things they said it could when it was being aired as Pick of the Day on Create and Craft. I was so excited about it printing on acetate and was gutted to find that like any printer it won't unless you use the special printable acetate. However, having played lots I do like what it can do and don't regret buying it.
Additional materials...
- Penny Black Hedgie stamp - from a T for Transparent set - I was very naughty and cut some of the flowers off the main image so that I could stamp them where I wanted them in the circle.
- Flower punch and matching embossing punch
- Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder
- Pearl gem stones
- Embossed purple card and matching designer paper - unknown make
- Scalloped and matching circle nestability dies
- Lace
Challenges.,.
- Sketch and Stash - sketch - new stash = Design Runner - neglected stash = flower punch not used for ages
- Crazy 4 Challenges - a thank you sentiment
- Penny Black Challenge - Choose 4 items from a card buffet (really brill idea for a challenge - I chose patterned paper, 3 flowers, 3 gems and ribbon - please use your imagination for the ribbon. Imagine it on the embossed band on the card. Somebody around here forgot to stick it on - whoops!)
- Crafty Ann's Challenge - Ring in the new, but don't ring out the old. See above.
Double whoops - no wonder I forgot the ribbon -check out the date on the photo - 18th Jan and I'm still putting 2010 on my cards. Sheesh what am I like?
Have a good day everyone.
Love and hugs.
