Today's challenge is to create something for any occasion using blue and white. My photos want to tint this a bit more blue then it really is but I can't seem to figure a way to stop that.
I used Gypsy Wanderings for the shape on the left and Wild Card for the sentiment. This is NOT the way I envisioned this card at all. This was a total crafting misfit project. Let me put it this way, 2 of my teeth are now blue from an unfortunate gel pen experience before using my actual Cricut inks in the Cricut. I thought this would be quick and simple but it ended up taking more time then anything I have done in recent history.
My Mind's Eye has come out with a pack of all their paisley papers! I love it this background paper is from that. I am loving that paper stack!
I originally just inked the stuff on but the white was shocking and basically horrid. So I chalked the white paper some. In person it isn't so blue but it works :)
Hmmm... So this project WAS the source of the blue teeth, huh??? When I saw your card at CTO, I thought I had discovered the cause!! :) LOL... Well, the ends might justify the means cuz your card turned out to be SUPER cute!! :) You know it's such a sweet treat for me to be able to welcome you to the CTO DT!! YAY you!!

ReplyDeleteI think your card turned out wonderful! I have yet to use pens in my Cricut and I don't know if I want to now if you can get blue teeth!?! :) LOL! Love your card!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the card!
ReplyDeleteWell, i like the card, even if it did not turn out as you had planned. But when I got to the part of the blue teeth, I just fell out laughing. Too bad there was not a video camera running at the time!
