This is my very first SPCC challenge (Scrapmaster's Paradise Color Combos). I wanted to keep the card simple since there wasn't a lot of variation in color to work with. Instead of obvious bling bling that I like to usually add, I opted for subtle details like an embossed bashful blue background and scored the edges of the kraft cardstock. You can't really see it in the photo but I like the look in real life. The bashful blue looks like a blue tree trunk!
This 3rd card was inspired by Andrea Walford. I CASEd this card and loved how it turned out.
Well I finally managed to take part in a challenge. The last one was in... May!?!?!? As you can tell, I'm still a bit rusty. Here's my attempt at Mojo Monday 116.
So I had my little mini stamp a stack yesterday and it turned out great! The cards weren't too labor intensive and it only took about 2 1/2 hours. Not too shabby for 10 cards! Here's the second card we did. We used the Big Shot embossing folder and the Top Note die with some popping pastels for this card. Hopefully the pictures I post get better and better because I'm really fiddling with my camera settings. This picture was taken with white balance adjustments. Instead of selecting incandescent light bulb, I chose a preset white balance and had taken a picture with a crazy increase in white balance so the white background I took was almost the perfect bright white I wanted. Then I just tweaked it down a couple notices on the preset white balance so I didn't have a super washed out photo. Let me know if you have any other tips for me!
Man I just spent the last 30 minutes trying to take a good photo and let me tell you... It's flippin' hard. Jamie bought me this fancy dancy camera that I have no idea how to use. I'm trying to play with the white balance and even then, it's just not working!! Grrr. Here's 2 photos with different settings. Notice any difference? So here's a card that I'll be doing at my very first stamp a stack! I'm excited! It's a uber small group but I'm glad because I've never done a stamp a stack and it's much easier to manage with less people (at least that's what I hope!) Hope everyone has a good weekend! Mine will be filled with card making and snow shoveling!
