Another fortnight has come and gone and it's time for another challenge at Crafty Ann's. We had some lovely entries for the challenge last fortnight using one of Crafty Ann's digital image. This fortnight's challenge is entitled "ring in the new but don't ring out the old" so Crafty Ann is asking us to use something new and something old on your project.
Well I decided to use a new technique that I saw over Christmas. I saw Sue Wilson doing a Spellbinders show and she heated up some Cosmic Shimmer on glue and it made bubbles, dried and made a lovely backing. A copy of her card is here. Well, I thought I'd use Flowersoft glue which I have had for a year or so, put on the Cosmic Shimmer and heated up. "Yes" I did get some wonderful bubbles like blowing bubble gum but no matter how long I kept going with the heat tool on the front or back it wouldn't dry. I then resorted to laying the different coloured pieces on paper in front of the fire and that's where they've been for three days - yes three days!!!! The orange/yellow backing paper is from Crafty Ann's Funky Collection and the crackle stamp is from Creative Expressions and the harlequin is by Tim Holtz. The daffodils image is from Crafty Ann's and I have coloured it in with Promarkers and decoupaged it up for change. The card is finished off with ribbon, Crafty Ann's ticket sentiment and card candy.
New item - using a glue/Cosmic Shimmer technique and trying different things with stamping on coloured backgrounds and trying some bolder colours out/different colour schemes I wouldn't have really used last year and using my new colour of card candy.
Old item - ribbon that I've had for quite a number of years and the crackle stamp I've had for a while as well.
