Hi there!
I mentioned that I was following an online class "Stretch Your Dies" and I make no excuses for this being a busy card ... I had no idea that you could shrink those big old die cuts using plain foam and couldn't wait to get right to it using the things on my desk
On a card this size (4x6) I would normally only be able to fit one of the larger die cuts but after seeing the tutorial by Jennifer McGuire I was enlightened and amazed ...
I coloured the white foam word "hello" using a Promarker and it looks just like suede!
I'm getting out all those old foam sheets I had pushed to the back of my supplies and I'll definitely be using this idea again...
Spring has paid us a visit today and it's wonderful! The sun is shining, birds are singing and Ginger cat is sun bathing in the garden ...
I hope it's a good day where you are
Hugs

Wow Ros, I love the depth of the die cuts...so pretty....I have some old foam sheets too...looks like a very fun class!! Yes, we have sun here too, which is very good, but it does show what I need to do, wash windows and dust....but I will take the happy sun anyday!!
ReplyDeleteI love this... and definitely not too busy!!! You certainly have a knack for picking beautiful color combinations!
ReplyDeleteAm interested in that class. Although I'm doing two right now, I'm retired... I can squeeze in another, right?
Have a wonderful day, my friend!
Beautiful Ros! Love your colours and I don't think it's busy at all. hugs :)
ReplyDeleteWow! it's great!!!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for missing out on so many wonderful posts here dear Ros, but we spent an unexpected week in Valencia at Las Fallas, celebrating my DH's birthday ;-) You have been so creative as usual, your cards and creations are always such a treat and a real pleasure to look at! Love your fun new techniques! Sending hugs, Ira xox

ReplyDeleteIt's past my bedtime, so I just scrolled through them to the first ... all of your homework cards are A++++, Ros! I have to wait to get some non-adhesive-backed foam to try the shrinking. It looks amazing!! Hugs, Darnell
