Sweet Pea Stampers Challenge - 4 November 2011 - Remember

The time has come for another challenge at Sweet Pea Stampers.  This fortnight the challenge is "Remember".
For my card I have used the Crafty Purple Frog decoupage image called "Field of Poppies".  I took a My Craft Studio (MCS) backing paper into word and shrunk down as I am still unable to use MCS as it still won't print to my printer any more.  It is so annoying as I used to use it for virtually all of my cards.  I used some green DCWV card, the backing paper and then just simply did some matting and layering of the image.  The second piece of backing paper I cut out the whole poppy images to decoupage up.  I did the "remember" in Word using Word Art as I thought it was striking.  I have just finished the card off with some ribbon and some black acrylic paint to the centre of the poppies on the decoupage to add a bit of dimension.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Totally Gorjuss - I remember

    Have a lovely weekend Love & Hugs Chanelle xxx

  4. Beautiful card Kym. I'd not thought of using acrylic paint as an accent - I normally use enamel accents, but the paint gives the same effect and is cheaper, so I won't be replenishing the accents once I've used them! Thanks for sharing that :)

    Have a fab weekend

  23. Kym, I'm no expert on MCS but it sounds like you have a missing dll or something that allows it to communicate with your printer. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it? Also have you phoned them, apparently they are very good at sorting out problems!

    Now to your stunner of a card! Wow, it's just gorgeous and so, so appropriate for the the time of year.

    Thanks for joining us at Dream Valley this time.
