The theme for the next Allsorts Challenge is **Sympathy/Thinking of You** and has been chosen by Gail. There is the usual *Anything Goes* option as well of course. The prize is from Highlight Crafts and full details can be seen on the Allsorts blog post.
For my card this time I decided to use My Craft Studio and I looked through images on some of my quite old CDs to select a suitable background design. Can't remember now which CD collection this one came from - sorry. My intention was to produce a digital stencilled effect and this involved using the 'digital punch' function within the programme. (there are lots of punch designs to choose from). Luckily I spotted a tutorial on You Tube to remind me of how this was done because it's quite a while since I'd used the programme for anything other than printing and/or resizing digital images. Once printed I cut the panel using a stained glass die and backed it with a toning square of card. A white die cut flower was added for extra interest.
Background - My Craft Studio Artwork CD (programme from Highlight Crafts)
Flower - Wildflower Stems die set from Sizzix
Stained Glass Die - Creative Expressions
WOW Val. This card is amazing. I love the background effect you created and the added die cut flower works so well for that ‘little something extra’. LOVE this xxx

ReplyDeleteLove this Val. The added flower is a perfect t finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteI think we’re not the only ones getting frustrated with the glitches with Blogger. At least I can upload photos onto a post now, but it is frustrating with the Reading List not updating issue.
