Woo Hoo! I won the A Day for Daisies challenge last week, so I thought I'd play again:)
On a roll yesterday-Valentine's! Lord knows, I love to make cards, but I am simply terrible about sending them. I am trying to get better about this.
You may recall, if you read my posts, that I spent the day with artist, Mari O'Dell last week. I did little but salivate over her amazing studio and gorgeous creations, but I did pick up a few simple, little tricks. The bottom two cards, inspired by Mari-a few folds and a cut. I like it!
Another idea-Mari saves all her magazines. She cuts out things that inspire her (her self-made smash journals are STUNNING!) and then uses them for work mats. So, for example, after cutting out my bunny (okay, Tammy's bunny!), I turned him over and covered him with glue, got it all over a magazine page, then simply turn the page for a clean work mat. Once I've hit every page, in the recycle bin it goes! Smart, huh?!
The first card is my fav. I used MME DP-love it, colored with Copics, used a few stickers from my stash, a rubber stamp sentiment, and twine! The next two, K&Co DP, a Pebbles (?) embellishment and K&Co embellishments, and of course, my beloved Copics!
