I had a little craft get-together at my mom's house the other night. I'm still learning and can't believe how much there is to know. I tried out the Grand Calibur for the first time and here's what I came up with. My mom has more buttons than any one person should be allowed to own. She encouraged me to use some. I am trying to come up with my own card designs but in the meantime, I am taking inspiration from all of you. I saw a card similar to this and I am sorry, I don't know whose blog it is. If I come across it again, I will post the name. The image is a clear stamp that I colored with pencils and tried a technique using gamsol. I need lots of practice! The sentiment is from the Everyday Sentiments set by Whimsical Designs. I put two little dots of Pearl Pen and as you can see, I need more practice with that too.
I am entering this in a couple of challenges
Whimsical Wednesdays - Colors of Love (red, white & green)
Birthday Sundaes - Birthday card with sentiment
Phindy's Palace - Circles
