Just a quick post today with a card and a layout. I'm doing some of the challenges over at Studio Calico this week. Laura K. is hosting one where you have to scrap something you've written electronically. Well, this promted me to go through some recent facebook postings, and I found a picture I posted in December that cracks me up. I took Rowan to Starbucks one day, and I captured this photo of him - which made me ponder (on facebook, of course)...."Am I inadvertently raising an urban hipster?"
All supplies for this layout were from the December Studio Calico kit, Brooklyn Flea. I cut the first part of the title with my Silhouette. I have to say that my little machine performs much better now than it did when I bought it 3 or 4 years ago. I think both the mats and the blades have improved.
My next project was super quick and fun, and was for Susan W.'s "Get punchy with a card" challenge. You had to use at least four different punches to create a card. I used four different sized Stampin' Up! circle punches, then cut the label with a QuicKutz nesting die. I used four shades of Stampin' Up! cardstock (soft sky, cool caribean, tempting turquoise & taken with teal). The Stamp is also Stampin' Up!, and the ink is Teal Damask chalk ink by Prima.
