THE WOYWW POST IS THE NEXT ONE DOWN..not quite two posts on one day, but this post was late going up because of a scheduling error. Of a human kind, naturally!
Ah, there you are...have you arrived from Julie's blog - lastminutecrafter? If you haven't but wanna be a part of this blog hop and stand a chance to win a prize, start of at Shannan's and hop through, easy enough! Go to the Amber Ink blog and enter by posting your vote or leave comments as you hop, there are prizes for commenting = more fun! There's gonna be a vote too, for the best entry, so I 'd better tell you the criteria....Make a card or project using some Amber Ink goodness and here's the premise:
A seven course dinner for two.
It breaks down a little more easily - the seven courses are the steps or techniques or embellishments to your card, and the two - those are your colour pallet - 2 colours plus a neutral/hint of a third.
So here's mine...and after I'd got my head around the challenge, it turned out to be not so hard as you think - initially I thought 7 courses - jeepers......but actually, you kinda do more than you think, without thinking. If you know what I mean...!
2 Colours of the same ipaper, plus cream as the neutral - check.
And the seven courses go like this....use Distress inks around the edges of the two ipapers (1, check) add one big fat ribbon (1, check), 3 istamped trees (3, check), emboss trees with Cosmic Shimmer powders (1, check), die cut one word from the neutral (but sparkly) colour (1, check). (7, check!) Much easier than it originally sounded. But don't take my word for it, visit the other blogs and be well, amazed.
