Scattered Love

Hello.  Welcome.  I have been a participant over at The Card Chain Challenge for over a year and enjoying every minute.  If you would like to get some snail mail every month then get yourself over to The Society of Stampaholics and sign up.  April is still open.  Usually Deborah would have posted the reveal on the 1st but she's got back problems.  Hugz and best wishes Deborah.  Hope you are feeling better soon.  Here's the card I sent to Carol for March CCC.  


I used Unity Stamp Co. Nancy Girl and Sizzix Friends die.  Maybe you are looking at this and thinking I cut the word friends and then stamped and fussy cut Nancy girl and added her afterwards.  Now why didn't I do that!!!!   Only Carol and I know that I stamped Nancy Girl, did some tricksy mixy with the cutting plates to die cut the friends around her, then even more fiddle and phaff with my Simon Says Stamp stitched dies, to get that lovely stitchy detail, without giving Nancy a leg-o-ectomy.  Only I know that this took a few attempts.  Don't worry, at no time did Nancy lose her legs.  Looking at it now I am wondering why I didn't make life easy, but where's the fun in that.  I think the patterned papers are MME and Crate Paper.  Nancy and her cats were coloured with watercolour pencil and my trusty waterbrush.

    It was definitely worth the faffing Gail as it resulted in a beautiful card which is adorning my craft room as we speak :) Carol x

    Great card! Great job. Sounds like you did what I would do: make it harder on myself for no good reason. haha

    Another great card, Gail! You have really gotten the hang of "blending" when coloring your images, and I am way jealous! I am taking a Copics class in May (so overdue), and am very excited about it!

    We all have visions that we create...that at the end we realize could have been done easier...if only we had the whole vision in the beginning!

    Saw you on FWF.
