WORDS
is the new challenge at FSC this month.
When I look back over my work, I realise that ‘words’ are not something that I use a lot of. Not that I am ever short of a word or two, I’m just not a “Happy Birthday” sort of person with my card creations.
However, for this challenge I have gone with a Tree Poem (by Stampendous) which I think suits this challenge perfectly.
haha…still no “Happy Birthday” 🙂
The background is made with Bister and I’ve splattered some H2O’s and white paint for extra oomph.
The background is some 7 Dots paper that I had which I’ve inked up and stamped on before adding some leaves for that touch of Autumn.
I was at Paperific (papercraft show) in Melbourne recently and got to see a lot of products IRL…a change from the internet where a lot of my purchases are made. It was so good to see what size the stamps are!!! (I know, it’s the little things).
I saw Flitterglu for the first time and couldn’t resist buying some and using it on this card.
I also took a class with Limor Weber while I was at Paperific which was an incredible experience…she left me feeling very clever!
And I also met some wonderfully creative Australian people.
It would be great to catch up with them again one day!!!
I don’t often work on canvas’s, but Limor helped me face my fears of BIG spaces lol…I had so much fun and learnt heaps!!!
