Hello there. I've been a little off kilter recently, but today I'm treating myself to a visit with you, my crafty friends. I have a card I made before Christmas, but didn't take the time to photograph and post. Maybe I can get back on track now. I was fiddling around with designer paper and the split front technique. I added the band along the edge and it seemed to expand the design possibilities. I do believe I'll be making more of these.
The patterned paper is an Amazon find via Pinterest ad from earlier this year. I smudged the edges and sanded the paper to give it a timeworn look. Untouched by time, however is the Penny Black Enchantingly flower. I was testing out some new-to-me paper for Copic coloring and ink blending. It's 100 lb Hammermill Premium Color Copy -- bright white and very smooth. I love this paper and, let's get practical for a moment, the price point makes it all the more desirable. Many of you are already using this particular Hammermill paper and know of its excellent quality.
I hope to see you again soon. My apologies if I haven't been around to visit. Things are just a little off here right now. Please bear with me.
Happy new year to you!
