I'm just making do over here in my corner of the world. I have to say that it's more than a little frustrating to not be able to get to my craft room when I want to! We are having electrical issues upstairs. The issue...we have no power upstairs, which mean I can craft by lantern or headlight or by daylight. I happen to work days, so today is the first day in better than a week that I have been able to make a card and I think it shows.
So I made this little number for a few challenges. First, I wanted to participate in the Verve Fan hop so I pulled out some of my favorite new Verve for this card. This cute little Emery just begs to be paper pieced, so I was happy to oblige! That brings me to the next challenge, The Moxie Fab World Paper Piecing Challenge. I drew in some lines on Emery's feet to do a little more piecing. (I hope it doesn't offend Julee that I altered her art a bit!) Finally, I used this week's sketch from the Limelight Papercraft's Sketch and Product Challenge.
Thanks for stopping by! Hopefully, I will get a few more daylight hours in my craft room today to create a bit more.
Details - Stamps: To The Moon (Verve), Emery PJ (Verve); Paper: Whisper White (base), Welcome Neighbor dsp, vellum; Ink: Basic Gray, Versamark, Old Olive, Bermuda Bay; Accessories: Nestabilities, scallop circle punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, paper snips, white ep, heat tool, stampin' dimensionals, glue pen.
Way to persevere in the conditions. I think you card is adorable! The paper on Emery is adorable :) Great card!
ReplyDeleteOh Toni! This is so pretty! I am a HUGE fan of elephants and love the patterned paper you selected for this little guy. I like the grass fringe you created and the cloud background DP as well. A terrific card!

ReplyDeletewell OF COURSE i am sorry to hear you've been craftless...been there, (unwillingly) done that! so if by "i think it shows" you mean that due to your enforced absence you had so much creativity and extra inspiration stored up that your card came out particularly ♥FABULOUSLY♥, then YES: it shows!!! :) :) :) (but i hope you have unlimited electricity and time to use it SOON!!!) :)
