How has your weekend been? I hope you've been able to get some crafting done. This weekend has been another crazy one around here. Today my daughter turns 19, so we've been celebrating all weekend with a house full of teenage girls, tons of movies, a trip to the haunted house, and cupcakes (along with lot of other food). lol I'm going to sleep SO well tonight!
I'm a bit late today. I can't lie, I forgot to create my posting for today. There's a new House of Cards challenge posted. This month our challenge is a technique challenge called the stamped and cut window technique.
Here is the card I made for this challenge.
I wanted to keep this simple. I stamped my focal panel and then die cute out the parts that would be added after I popped it up with dimensionals. I added some twine and some gorgeous Pretty Pink Posh sequins, and called it done. I think I did ok with this technique. I like how it turned out. I think I'll try it again, to see if I can do a better job with it though.
I'm going to submit my card for the following challenges:
Color Throwdown #366: Rust, Aqua & Gray
Simon's Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes
Freshly Made Sketches #210: Sketch
4 Crafty Chicks #270: Anything Goes
Can You Case It #93: Fall Edition (I chose fall colors)
So, that's all for me today. I'm off to make waffles, which is what the birthday girl asked for, and then we're starting another movie marathon. I do hope you'll head over to see what my friends have created for you this month. As always, they're pretty fantastic. You have until the 30th to play along. That's a whole month to get your craft on! :)
Have a wonderful day!
