Good morning I'm here to share my project for our current challenge over on the Paperbabe Stamps blog...
I was my daughters birthday yesterday, our first family birthday in 'lockdown' but we had plenty of fun. My cake baking has taken a bit of a downtime too I'm completely out of practice, I think I ended up making a backup cake that really wasn't any better than the first, hahaha, I'm missing those favourite baking ingredients I can usually pick up...
Also the colour dried completely different overnight, what's with this paper? whatever emulsion they coat on this stuff makes it a bit hit and miss. I used distress oxides, I guess if I wanted to get this again it wouldn't work, lol. I did mask the yellow stripes to match the knit pattern up not that it's very noticeable in the finish.
Was it the colours or the cute round glasses that really give the card theme away? Maoleidigh is a huge Harry Potter fan, I might have come across the most amazing Harry Potter trunk with all the fabulous goodies inside... awesome gift she still hasn't taken the HP top off hahaha, all ready for her first day at Hogwarts.
So I treated myself to this Karen Burniston's awesome die, love it, so clever, I have lots of ideas with this die, I can't wait to get some creative time in soon.

Stay safe and enjoy some creative quarantine time,

Such a clever card Kim, I spotted the theme straight away great use of the glasses. What a fabulous surprise Maoleidigh must have had when she saw what was inside. I too fell in love with that die but my brain goes to mush when I try and construct anything like this so my simple squares do the job for creating those polaroid frames.. i'll leave the maths to you hee hee!
ReplyDeleteYour right about the coating of some card, it's such a pain when we require the colour to be what we first see.. but i'm sure it didn't spoil the Birthday & double cake.. Happy Belated Birthday to your sweetest little girl.
Take care, keep safe & creative Tracey xx
