scrappy hours just posted a fun challenge...a day in the life. head over there and submit your card or layout!I combined lots of different things i've been wanting to do on a card in this one. it represents "a day in the life" for me in a couple ways. one is that i'd love each day to be full of sunshine, flowers and song...carefree and idyllic. of course that is cliché and totally unrealistic....but i do my best to capture some of it each day. the other way this card is like "a day in the life" for me is all the different techniques i used, the best day for me is when i discover a new way to create.
i recycled an acetate overlay from a valentine's card i received...it already had the white doodly flower on the front. i dripped alcohol inks on the back and let them bleed into each other for a mottled stained glass effect. i figured out how to create words on my cricut, and i made a pinhole border for the first time. the gold foil behind the floral cut paper is recycled crinkled tissue paper from an xmas gift.
so it's kinda busy-looking, but i like it, i think it's cheery!
Very pretty! I love that floral cut paper, and reusing the acetate was some clever recycling.
ReplyDeleteI think this card is excellent with all its layers..I love all the techniques that you have used and the la la la bit makes me funny as a lot of Liverpudlians say "eh la" when they are talking to you!!
