Today, I've tried a different kind of card - my first entry to this week's
CASual Fridays challenge "On the Red Carpet" was all stamping, and the second had stamping in the background, but the sentiment on this card is the only bit of stamping - all the rest is paper piecing, and the background was done by masking and sponging. Can you guess from which film I took my inspiration?
Did you guess "Around the world in 80 days?" Well done! :)
Seeing as the balloon is paper pieced (no stamp - I drew it myself and cut out templates), and the grass is hand cut (with standard scissors, by the way!), and the banner with the sentiment was hand cut, too, I'll also submit this to
Moxie Fab's Cutting and Trimming Challenge, and to
Lilypad cards Patterned paper challenge.
Also,
The Ribbon Carousel has a paper piecing challenge this week, so you'll see a link there, too :)
I did the background by die cutting some clouds with a die from Memory Box, annd then sponging all around with Hero Hues Soft Pool ink, using my Ranger ink blending tool. Because of this, I'll also submit this to
Moxie Fab's Die Cutting Challenge.
