Work of Art, Fancy Friday

This month, the Fancy Friday team was challenged to create a piece of art - a card without a greeting or any wording on the front.  I really loved making this 'In the Meadow' scene for this challenge.  I truly did feel like an artist!

If you are interested in seeing this design being made please leave a comment on this post.  I would be more than happy to create a video tutorial if there is sufficient interest!

(You asked so here it is!  A huge thank you to all who took the time to leave me some lovely comments about this project xx)

Regrettably the 'In the Meadow' stamp set was placed on the retiring list earlier this month and has since sold out in the Australian market.  Just another reason why you should shop for your favourites from this list before stocks sell out and they are gone for good!  You can view what remains on the list *HERE*.

I sincerely love the Fancy Friday hops and I'm so excited to see what the rest of the team has come up with for you!  Click the link below to continue the journey.  Next up is my fancy friend Susan in New Zealand.

Inside Outside, In the Meadow

It's World Cardmaking Day today!!  Paper enthusiasts around the globe are celebrating their love of cardmaking and the web is being flooded with pictures of their gorgeous handmade greeting cards!  I do so hope that you'll be inspired to put some of these beautiful works of 'heart' in the post to give a loved one a special, unexpected surprise in their letterbox this week!

Today I picked up the latest edition of my favourite cardmaking magazine, Australian Cardmaking, Stamping and Papercraft.  I'm so excited and honoured to be featured with other industry creatives in this edition as we share some fun ideas for bringing the inside of your cards to the outside.

I've used the In the Meadow set for my design.  I put those gorgeous deer on the front panel, cutting the top section of the front away to reveal the lovely mountain range on the inside in the background.

I hope you've enjoyed this project.  Happy Cardmaking Day all!

Please see Vol 23, No 2 of the mag for full project supply list and instructions.
