Hi everyone!! How is everyone holding up?
I keep thinking today is MONDAY but it is Tuesday and I am still mostly staying home. Things are opening up here BUT I am not one to hurry back out to "normal." Headed out today after work to Home Depot to buy a trellis and do some other errands with Charlotte and with the exception of Home Depot, it was actually nice because stores were EMPTY. However, I was still a bit stressed and will not be going out again anytime soon.
Soooo, I have been creating like crazy but not posting. Do people even read blogs anymore? I need to post on IG on a more regular basis but I hate typing things with my phone. My fingers are too big. I just wish I could upload to IG via my computer.
Any how, I have been taking the Spring Online Card Camp 2 and have had SO MUCH FUN. I have not made everything I created into cards as of yet, but the techniques I have learned and the ones I have used before have been so freeing.
My first two cards are from Day 12 and it is to use basic shapes in geometric patterns. I used circles on both of my cards.
All the paper besides the card base was from my scrap drawer. Simple design but I really like how it came out. However, the card below is my favorite one I created using this technique.
I used a printed background sheet behind my circles!! I think it looks so funky!!!!! I also added a pattern paper circle for the middle of these circles and I liked that look too.
Below is a card for Day 3 of camp. I am so made because I should have used a colored cardstock because the embossing on the dry embossing on the white cardstock is hard to see.
I added some flowers from WPlus9 and the sentiment and tag are from Mama Elephant. All of these products I have had in my stash but have not used.
Another card I created this weekend was for last weeks Freshly Mades Sketches but never uploaded. I have been doing a lot of that lately.
Now I liked how this turned out EXCEPT for those stupid black tiger stripes in the back. I was trying to make a night sky and I used too dark of a gray and couldn't blend it out.
I also made the mistake of coloring in the girls first, which I would NOT do again. I would have done the sky. Since it took me so long to color, I decided terrible sky or not, I was making into a card!! This stamp was a NBUS so I am going to upload this into the NBUS Challenge.
Below is the sketch that inspired this. I flipped it so that the sentiment was in the upper left, rather than the bottom right.
