A funny thing happened on my blog the other day!
When I first set up my blog many moons ago, I added a gadget on my sidebar called Crafty Blogs. It gives you an idea of the amount of traffic visiting your blog. (lots of people visit to have a look but don't leave comments, so you don't actually know they've been around.
It appears that my blog is usually fairly well visited and the number appearing on the gadget is usually between about 60 and 90. (Number 1 being the most popular of all) Not bad considering the number of blogs there are around!
The other day however the number was 287 or something like that! I find it really hard to understand how that drastic fall in popularity could happen overnight. Since then the number has been gradually climbing until it is now round about back to where it historically had been.
Has anyone else had something similar happen?
What would be even better is if visitors could drop me a comment to say they have been and what they think of my cards!!
Anyway to get back to this one.
I based it on the sketch from CAS Colours and Sketches
I used the Ghosting technique with a Stamplorations Stencil on the pennant, adding a die cut and water coloured foliage spray from Sizzix. The sentiment is from Personal impressions. The two pennants were cut with MFT pierced dies.
Lovely card. Thanks for playing along with us on the CASology Challenge blog.

Fabulous CAS card. Thank you for joining us for this week's CC&S challenge.
ReplyDeleteHi Chrissie, A fabulous card, love the greens and the ghosting from the stencil, something to try out when I get myself a new stash of baby wipes. Have you tried looking at your stats in Blogger for more information on your visitors. I know that some of the links that are offered as referring blogs are shall we say of an adult nature which my security system blocks access to due to the content and risk to my pc. Have a wonderful weekend... Megan
ReplyDeleteWonderfully, earthy card Chrissie! Your textured background is really fantastic. Love the strip with the ghosted leaf stenciling, and your beautiful watercoloured leafy sprig. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Stencil. I don't use the same counter, so don't know about it ... sorry!
