Do Not Give Up



Good Morning! I can't believe the weekend is already upon us. The days just have flown by. I did get a few hours to play yesterday. Well, maybe more then a few. (smile)
I was able play and get familiar with some new techniques and with some new products. I'm really trying to stretch my creativity. Hopefully, I'll be sharing some "new" things in the future.

Today's card is being posted in two challenges, DS no.167 and Word Art Wednesday



I rounded all the corners of my card, but I'm not that happy with it. I really feel sticking to Jen's sketch would have been the better way to go. Oh well, create and learn.

Speaking of the rounded corner. I have found that when working with the Punch Corner by Project Life,  turning the punch upside down and centering it worked better for me. I never was able to get a clean rounded corner by using the guide.

Although the color can't be seen in this photo, the Pistachio Pudding used for the leaves and center of the flower was picked up out of the small dots paper. I hesitated to use it, but a darker green was just not working.


That's about it for today.  Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and are able to do something CRAFTY my friends!
Hugs, Bernadette

Double Challenge Card

Today I am posting a card that I will be uploading to two challenges,  Mojo#358 and Word Art Wednesday.

I just received the Flower Patch Stamp set with the matching die, which I love. (You can buy this stamp in a bundle and save 15%. ) I haven't worked with it very much yet, but I will be. 

The flower was stamped with the Daffodil Delight Stampin' Write maker brushed over the flowers. It seemed to give it a watercolor look, which I liked.

For some unknown reason, I have NO Daffodil Delight ink pad and have only one sheet of the paper left. It must not have been on my reorder list and I forgot to reorder. Oh wait a minute, that list is in my head. Need I say more!!! 


 Even though the color in the patterned paper was Old Olive, I chose to use the Mossy Meadow as an accent color. It really is one of my favorite greens and went well with the paper.


 


 I have found using a padded surface with the photopolymer stamps really gives a crisp, even image. I use the back side of my Stampin' Pierce Pad (126199).
