I hope all of you are having a great WCMD. In honor of the day I spend most of it right where I was supposed to...crafting. What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday. I think every Saturday should be WCMD. What do you think? I've been making cards for just over a year now. I love everything about the craft. As I grow and learn I have tried to make it a point to challenge myself more. To step outside of my regular crafting style, colors and so much more. Challenge blogs have been a huge part of this process. So today I wanted to say thank you to all of you who take the time to create these challenges. Because of you I've taken my card making to a whole new level.
Today I made several cards for various challenges. I will post more of them in the next few days, but here is my card for the Embellish Blog and the CAS-ual Fridays #22 challenges.
This card is a perfect example of what I was talking about. I would have never put these colors together. But, thanks to a great challenge I was able to step out and create this.
Here is a close up of the watering can. To get this look I inked up my stamp with my brown ink. Then I gently pulled the ink pad across the image. I love this look.
Well that's it for now. I'm off to see what else I can create. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day.
