It has been over a week since I posted. I have the dreaded cold given to me by one of my loved ones. It has really knocked me down. I have not accomplished much of anything this week but I did want to show you the things I got done for my submission to Spellbinders Design team.
First I made this page for my 12 x 12 layout. I was aiming for something with more pop and detail but see above. I had made the back-ground on the card stock myself with leaf/petal shaped stamp pads, pressed in a round and overlapped, then used a white pen to outline the petals and make white dots. I loved the way it turned out! If I have enough time today, I think I will get a set of bright inks from hobby lobby and try to do the same thing in bright colors.



















Second was my Card. I had spent several days working out what I wanted to happen. It took me another 2 hours to figure out the right angle of cut to make the bunny pop out from behind the egg. There are changes I would make if I was going to do this again, but overall I think it worked out pretty well.


















This Stamped project was made with my cut eraser technique. I wanted the effect of basket weave on the background so I cut one side of my eraser into stripes and the other I left whole. I really like how it barely shows, subtle. I folded the layered card so that it looked more like a plaque on the card. Again brighter stamps would change this whole look.
That is what I have been working on. Other projects too this week, including egg shells, paper pulp, fabric and anything else that is laying around in my way!
