And a happy new year too!
It's a scheduled post from me this morning as I'll be at work. I'm impressed that I survived working a whole week last week after the short Christmas and New Year weeks. It's another full week this week and for the next few weeks until mid February, although I'm off to Edinburgh with work on Tuesday so that'll break up this week a bit!
Anyhow, on to my card... today I'm sharing my design team make for the Cutie Pie Challenge this month our theme is Cute, Clean and Simple (CAS) and we are sponsored by My Besties from Sherri Baldy.
I have to say I struggle a bit with CAS cards, it's not like I over embellish my usual cards but I'm never sure when I've done enough if that makes sense. Anyway, this card did not go to plan! I spent a lot of time colouring the beautiful image as it's quite detailed and I was really quite happy with the result, it was getting late and I was getting tired and I then had a look for some coffee related sentiment stamps I have in my stash and was working out which to use and where to stamp them when I suddenly discovered I'd smudged Memento Tuxedo Black ink all over one side of my coloured image aaaargh!!!! I stepped away from it for a while to calm myself down then went back to rescue it as best I could. I ended up cropping the image further to get rid of the smudges and added some spotty paper which I hadn't planned using but is a great match all the same. I was too frightened to go back to the sentiment stamps just in case of further disaster so I printed out my own sentiment on the pc. I added a button to complete my simple yet near disaster of a card lol. It may not look as I originally planned but I'm quite happy with how it's turned out now!
Materials Used:
Digi stamp - Sherri Baldy, My Besties, I Love Coffee
Promarkers
Papers - Recollections Valentine
Vardstock, button & twine from stash
That's all from me today but I will be back with you very soon.
Hugs,
Shona xx
