I love to watch the videos by Gina from Gina K Designs. As I was looking around her site today, I noticed a challenge with a Clean & Simple sketch. I haven't previously entered any cards for this challenge, in fact I hadn't realised that there was one, but having found it, I just had to have a go. The next problem was how to upload my picture so that it appeared in the correct place. What a difference a couple of apostrophes can make! I finally managed it however.
I love the techniques to be learned there, but sadly don't have any Gina K products as international postage makes the cost somewhat prohibitive!
This card uses a little Cuttlebug embossing and some of my new Darkroom Door images from the Friendship Flowers collection. They arrived just yesterday. I cut and embossed the circle and left the card inside the die for stamping. I stamped each image twice with Midnight Blue Stazon, without re-inking, to get the shadow effect. Stamping within the die ensures that a plain border is retained.
I was quite pleased with this one!
Another stunning CAS card Chrissie and thanks for the tip about stamping while still in the die - I learn so much from you x
ReplyDeletePS. About your work area pics - Can I ask what is in the tray on the left with I think, card sticking in it ?
Beautiful card - I love that stamp - so versatile.
