This week we are changing things up a bit on the blog - we all started off this week's projects with the same sketch and each day we are challenged with a new twist!
Here is the sketch that we are using for this week:
Since today is Wednesday - it's our card day ! I decided to whip up a few cards, using the sketch in 2 different ways - PLUS, I was challenged by Heather to use something HARD & something SOFT on my cards!
For my first card, I used the base patterns on the sketch and copied it onto my card. I used the diagnal shape and went from there:
Supplies: We R Family (Tiny Tablet, Washi Tape); Urban Autumn (Daily Deck, Metal Badges); Destination (Letter Stickers)
I used a Metal Badge from the new Urban Autumn collection as my hard item and then some metallic thread as my soft item, circling over top the diecut snowflake:
I used the gold dot washi tape (LOVE IT) over and over in rows to create a patterned paper type design on the card, and then covered the edges with pieces of patterned paper.
For my next card, I kept it quite simple, cutting some simple pennant shapes from patterned paper and adding a stamped sentiment and some punched snowflakes.
Supplies: We R Family (Tiny Tablet); Pinwheel (Embellishment Bundle); Urban Autumn (Washi Tape, Daily Deck); Christmas Cheer Chowder (Clear Stamps)
For my hard item, I used some staples and my soft item this time was some baker's twine from the Pinwheel embellishment bundle!
Thanks for joining me today - up next will be Leslie - and I challenge her to use a COOL TECHNIQUE on her project!! (I know she will rock that right??)
Come back on Friday when Leslie will amaze us all ! :)
