I have just returned from Staples after changing my craft chair for a second time.
I bought the original chair about a year ago and was quite pleased with it until the leather/leatherette split around the stitching on one of the arms. We had taken out cover to insure against mishap and the chair was replaced with absolutely NO quibble.
A similar thing happened to the replacement chair and so back I went to Staples. They couldn't have been more helpful. I have changed it for a different model this time, which is in fact much more comfortable and so I am well pleased.
I also bought a Really Useful Box to keep some of my clear stamps in at the same time.
So... on to this card. It is for the sketch at Our Creative Corner, which I thought, lent itself to this technique. It's called Spotlighting, for fairly obvious reasons. It's quite an interesting idea isn't it!
The image is a freebie from Digi Doodles and I think it's wonderful. Their challenge is Anything Goes!
The sentiment is from Stampin' Up and I sadly can't remember the make of the digi paper. I wish all makers would add an identifying name to their images and papers, it would make things a little simpler. The very bottom layer is a lovely woodgrain paper which I got in the Paper Mill Shop.

Oooh,I do like my new chair!
Chrissie,
ReplyDeleteI love your cards. I've been going through your posts just since Wednesday, and was blown away by everything you make in less than one week's time. Your cards are an inspiration to anyone in the card making business.
I wanted to let you know I have chosen you to be my blog pick of the day tomorrow (Sunday, Sept. 19). Sunday posts are a bit different, because they are "Silent." That means pictures only, no words, so I post the blog of the day in a separate post earlier in the morning. Thanks for being such an inspiration and such an awesome card maker.
FAB card Chrissie, love the coloured element of the leaves
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you got your chair sorted

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card and a great example of spotlighting. I have been meaning to have a go at this technique for ages and even have a piece of paper written in front of me to do it!!! I might do the challenge that way I could actually do the technique at last.
