Hiya
Well I made it to day 4 and I was still in a creative mood. So I looked for a challenge and found that Hel's Sheridan's Sunday Stamper challenge this week is based on Summer colours. The colours I have used on the cards below remind me of a sunset. You can find the challenge here http://pinkleart.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/sunday-stamper-week-202-summer-in-city.html
I found the following technique that i have used in a copy of Craft Stamper last year. You use Post it notes as a mask for a shape and fill in the space left with 3 different colours of distress light, medium, dark. I didn't have any post it notes long enough to cover the card so I cut a few squares of card stock and I off I went. I love these cards as I can customise as and when I need to with the correct sentiment.
The colours of Distress used are Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge, Barn Door. Two of the stamps are from Dylusions "bits of things set" from the wonder Dyan.
This is my next project. I am hoping once finished it will look slightly different then it does now.
This was how my craft space looked after only two days, I am far to ashamed to show how it looks now.
Well thats me for this four days craft "me time". I have a mega busy couple of weeks coming up at work and do not know how much spare time I will but i'm sure to find a wee hour or two!
