Hi all,
Our friends have departed and yesterday my craft room was put back together. This afternoon, I got busy and made a card for this week's Paper Players challenge. LeAnne has a fun crafty theme for this month's Clean and Simple challenge.
I pulled out a long neglected Taylored Expressions Crafty background stamp, along with the matching Crafty Simple Strips stamp, and the coordinating banner die to make this card.
I started by cutting three sizes of circles in mylar to use as a stencil and then ink blended the three circles. Next, using some GKD Masking Magic strips in 1/2 inch width, I masked the edges of the white panel before stamping the background. It's stamped with craft black ink and heat embossed with clear EP. After embossing, I cut the panel down using a SU Stitched Rectangle die.
I used two of the sentiment strips and popped them up with thin strips of foam tape.
The inside of the card uses another of the strips glued over a stamped pair of scissors. I think this sentiment is funny and perfect for us paper crafters. The scissors are from Concord & 9th.
Collen this is fabulous! I love the background stamp and the circles were a clever way to add colour easily. That sentiment made me chuckle too - I need one that says that about scissors though!! Thanks for playing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
