I'm pretty excited, this is my first time participating in a blog hop. I have checked out others to see their cool ideas, but this is my first time sharing in this type of forum. I hope you enjoy my cards and your trip through the blog hop.
There are so many cool new things in the 2013-2014 Stampin’
Up! Catalog and one of the first things that went on my list was the Chalk Talk
bundle. 6 awesome stamps with matching framelits! Lots of cool tag ideas started whirling in my head. Of course that means that the cards
that came up for me featured no tags!
So anyhoo, the first card that I am sharing actually
features the center from one of the stamps.
When I was getting the stamp set ready, I thought what a
cool giant polka dot.
I stamped it
randomly around my smoky slate card stock (all sides) in smoky slate.
I punched two half circles on each side
of the card front to frame up my banner made with a slightly wider and shorter
piece of calypso coral and some soft sky, notched like a ribbon on the
bottom.
I stamped the happy BIG
day greeting in black stazon ink,
and colored in the BIG
with my calypso coral marker.
A
few wraps around with the bakers twine and a floppy bow finished it all
off.
Quick and cute!
The second card I made took just a little longer and has a
very different feel. Basic grey,
daffodil delight, and so saffron are the base for two quick stripes of the epic
day washi tape (love this stuff!) and lots of the small flowers from the boho
blossoms punch. I added in a few
flowers in whisper white to brighten up the yellows and sparkled up each
blossom with a pearl. The
background for the greeting I stamped in daffodil delight and popped up on two dimensionals.
The elegant greeting is stamped in
basic grey.
I hope you enjoyed these cards. So now carry on with the blog hop for even more wonderful
ideas for the chalk talk set. Thanks for stopping by, click below for the next blog. Happy crafting--Audra, the crafty yogi.
