Hi Best Blogging Buddies
Well I did a crazy thing the other day, I joined Pinterest... and I think it's going to become a bit of an addiction (as if I didn't have enough!)!!
Anyway, whilst browsing boards.... I came across a fabulously designed card, and I'm sorry, but I can't remember whose pinboard it was on! But I liked it, so clicked on it to find out who'd designed it so I could ask to have a go! It led to a blog called Blush Crafts and a very nice blogger called Vicky.... who was happy that I tried a version of it. And I did...... and I'm not happy with it! Vicky's is so much nicer..... so I may just give up on this one and go back to image colouring!! hehe!
I think the card is self explanatory.... a bit of machine sewing for the stems, a Martha Stewart Hyacinth punch for the flowers, and I added handcut leaves to mine as my card did look bare with just the flowers -whereas Vicky's didn't... Hmmmmmmf!!! Ooooh and the sentiment is from Pink Petticoat btw.
My OH didn't think I would blog it as I'm not that pleased with it... but I decided to show my poor attempts as well as my good ones!
Take care all
Hugs

ReplyDeleteHi Christine, I think it's really pretty. I do have a very soft spot for clean and simple cards and this one is just great. Really elegant and so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI think it's good to step outside of our comfort zone, you never know you might find something you like.
I also agree that it's good to blog cards you don't like very much along with the ones you are proud of - it's a much more rounded look at the whole person and I like that.

ReplyDeleteI'm lovin the stitched stems - gives it a lot more interest - its fab!

Hi Christine - this is definitely not a "poor attempt" - you are far too hard on yourself. I absolutely love the CAS design, and the stitching adds an extra touch of beautiful texture. Love it!
