I managed to squeak in a little crafty time yesterday (anything to avoid the post-vacation ironing mountain!) and today I'm sharing the cards I made inspired by the 'BOLD' word challenge over at Just Us Girls this week:
I don't always manage to make time to play along with these lovely ladies, but when I saw that 'bold' was the word of the week it gave me the perfect opportunity to use another of my recent craft purchases, one of the Let's Celebrate Dies by Hero Arts and use up some of my stash of retired patterned papers - take a look:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
In keeping with the word 'bold' I decided I had to go with a big diecut sentiment and some suitably bright and colourful designers series paper behind. I chose this Lemon Lime Twist paper, with splashes of Lovely Lipstick, Smoky Slate, black and white from the retired Broadway Bounds specialty designer series paper, mounted on a Lemon Lime Twist cardbase with a black mat for definition. It just so happened that I had some retired Lovely Lipstick coloured foil in my stash, so I decided to cut my sentiment from this for added impact:
A trio of co-ordinating pink glossy enamel dots complete each of my cards - they really didn't need anything else. I made two identical ones, as this is the kind of card that is great to have on standby and it took only a little extra time and effort. All of that pink and lemon-lime, along with the shiny foil and the recipient of this card might well need sunglasses, it's so bright - this is the kind of card that makes me happy!
Enjoy your day and I'll be back tomorrow with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!
