Sorry for not updating with details on my card last week (or the last few months) but as usual life got in the way and I am trying not to beat myself up when things get in the way of crafting. But anyway I am back!!!
This week over on DCM its was the lovely Lythans turn to set the dare, and she dared us to use 3 different patterned papers, and if we were feeling really brave to use 3 different paper lines! well I wasnt THAT brave but I did manage 3 different patterns.
As usual (predictable? moi?) I started with a white card blank, small tall i think? using a stack of paper strips from Craftwork Cards (winterwonderland i think? rubbish arent i!) I cut two different patterns and layered them together to cover the front of the card. I then I cut a smaller ribbon type strip from a third pattern and stuck that across the centre (using my fabby new Elmers Sticky Dot adhesive stamper - so much easier for my dodgy hands!).
I then found some AC thickers in my stash and thought oooh can use them. So spelt the word "sister" on the front - well ok so eventually i spelt sister after trying about a million different words which just werent "right". am still not too happy with the caption, I think the writer in me struggles with the mix of upper/lower case that thickers have, and the S's just look a bit odd? maybe its just me? Then finally I added a couple of tiny little pink brads.
close up so you can see there really are 3 different papers
Will update later this week with some pics of my new paint storage my hubby made me, and my gorgeous new desk (cos i am sad like that!)
