Two cards

This one is a sample card I made for a friend who wanted some birth announcement cards. I will need to make loads of changes to this one depending on her requirements so I thought it safe enough to post here.



Kind of bored of seeing yellow on my cards now... I just promised myself something different tomorrow...!

And this next is just an attempted ode to Tim Holtz... he he he... You know, when I started blogging and paper crafting, I couldn't understand anybody's love for distressing or for vintage images in the cards. In fact, I hated distressing... I did like those coffee-stained/aged papers though. Anyway, things have changed a great deal since then. I am now a great Tim Holtz fan... ordered a few masks and a distress ink. This card isn't a card per se... just a folded card stock on which I have tried masking and using distress ink ;-)...

    Hey the distressing and masking looks great!I'm also a huge Tim Holtz fan, I have a couple of his masks, can't wait to get more, don't have any distress inks though (a piece of sponge inked with regular stamp pad inks works fine too)

    Yes, Shalini... I too feel a softer color looks better. No time to go shopping for paper and I am out of colors as of now :-( So I had to make do with this... bad, I know! But I did mention the softness requirement to my friend too when I mailed this to her ;-)
