Erin’s card for the Sketch Challenge {007}

Here’s the card that I drew up Sketch Challenge {007} for. I first sketched the idea and then went a little crazy with the design elements. This card was made for that swap from AAAGES ago… this card is made with random stamped paper by Susan Hankins. Click on the pictures for a larger view. I loved it so much that I recreated Susan’s RS paper and made a card for myself! Yes, that is real stitching. 🙂 Techniques:Machine Stitching,…

Thoughts for Thursday: Artwork & Fun Photos

I can’t write a huge honkin post like that and not include some artwork! I thought I would share this fun card that I made for Alisha Trussell from that swap I talk about all the time… lol! Click for a larger view. I used the Cracked Glass technique and sprinkled in some gold glitter just before heating the UTEE powder in the center of Alisha’s random stamped paper circle. I’ve never had good success with cracked glass until this…

There was a reason for those messages to…
