As might be guessed from my complete lack of blog posts as of late, I have been very busy. The days are rushing past at an unbelievable pace and the exams are getting closer by the minute. At least that is how it feels when the pile of books is only growing taller, instead of smaller! Nevertheless, a blog post was well over due, so here is a new card:
It’s only going to be a short post today, as time is flying so fast I can barely keep up these last few days! Studying is taking up a lot of time, and the rest of the time is filled with work. Hopefully I have a few hours for some card making on Thursday as it’s an official holiday day, yey! I shall try to get two more cards up this week also. Anyway let’s get today’s card added:
My boyfriend’s birthday today, so I wanted to make a special card. I couldn’t post it until today though, it would hardly have been surprise if I’d put it up early! After rummaging around my stash for a while, I spotted some different type of paper I’d never used before and ideas were forming immediately. Black, white with greys and silver! Now that was certainly something I hadn’t done before and it was a challenge indeed to shade the stamp in greys, not using any other colour at all. What fun it was, though!
I looked at the challenge last week and decided instantly that I couldn’t enter in the challenge. Why? Because I didn’t have a heart die or anything similar. It bugged me, though. I don’t like being stopped that easily.
Today, after work I decided to get the old fashioned scissors out and cut out a heart shape myself. So here I am, a couple of hours later with a whole new card that I am very pleased with indeed; my entry for the 6th challenge over at Lili’s Little Fairies.
I’ve been wanting to make a fairly plain and snowy looking Christmas card, so my last Christmas card of the year had to get that look! Blue was the obvious choice of colour to go with, but I braved added a splash of red to it as well! This is the first Christmas card post in a white that will only feature one card. That doesn’t mean I only made one though!
