So I’m not really happy with the card this week. Maybe its too monochromatic? Maybe the white is too bright? Maybe it’s because I have some better cards to show this week lol? BUT, I was able to use 2 stamps I have had my eye on since before I became a demonstrator. Even though both sets are retiring, I LOVE em’
This weeks colour choice is Chocolate Chip from Stampin Up’s Earth Elements colour range. The effect I’m going for here is the ‘faux tear’. This card is made from one singe piece of cardstock, but I think this would be better with a different colour. This idea comes from my Stampin Up Upline Marelle. You can see her versions of the ‘faux tear’ HERE. Definitely worth the look!
For those of you who wanted tutorials, stay tuned!! Everyday this week I will have a tutorial for a ‘not your ordinary fold’ card. I’m really looking forward to this week’s posts! AND…..I will try to throw in some sneak peeks of the new stamp sets from the new catalogue.
