friends...

July's challenge (yes I am actually a day early with my post) for the RobVikVik challenge was a technique challenge that Robyn put forward. She saw Kristina's beautiful card here and challenged us to use the technique Kristina had used. So other than using this technique our colour and layout was 'anything goes'. Sadly I must admit it has been so long since I have heat embossed that I didn't know if my powder would work but lucky for me it did and I am really pleased with how the card turned out. I have used the latest sketch from Freshly Made Sketches but didn't make the band quite as big as it should be as I didn't want to cut too much of the pretty background card I had just made. I was also able to use one of the die cuts I cut out while visiting Robyn last month to finish it off with a sentiment. It feels really good to have made this card and be happy with it, the fact that it has come together so easily is nice as I have been missing my mojo for a while now. I wasn't able to have my regular stamping day on Saturday as our son turned 18 and he had a party that night but lucky for me it is a public holiday (Show Day) so I am stamping today. On that note...I'm off to search the challenge blogs....thanks for stopping by.
