Hello!
I hope this finds you hanging in there after a really rough couple of weeks.
No words can take away the pain of anyone during these troubled times. My heart goes out to all involved. We just have to commit to opening our hearts to seeing, learning and doing better.
Heartfelt Hugs!
I decided to keep working on cards as I process everything.
I made my first ever slimline card!
These are cards that measure 3 1/2 by 8 1/2 and fit into a business size envelope. I've been seeing them more and more as I navigate around the web.
Trinity Stamps is a new to me company who sells slimline dies and I picked up a couple of sets from them. I was pleasently surprised when I received my goodies to also receive a tea bag and a small baggie of embellishments. What a lovely touch! They sell stamps and dies and fantastic sequins as well.
Lawn Fawn just came out with slimline dies in their Mini Relase in May. I haven't purchased any yet.
They are definitely getting more popular.
So, Lawn Fawnatics just posted a new challenge on their blog to create a scene. I've been wanting to use my new slimline dies and use the Village Heros Set. I watched a video by Nichol Spohr after seeing her post here on using this and other coordinating sets. Her cards inspired mine.
Now after all that, please enjoy my first ever slimline card using my new Trinity Slimline Dies and Lawn Fawn Village Heros stamp set and dies.
In addition to Village Heros, I used images from Village Shops and Happy Village. I also pulled out the my mountain border die set. I colored with Copic Markers, following inspiration from the colors Nichol used on her cards.
I want to post this challenge on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge Blog and on
Darnell's NBUS Challenge Blog-Challenge 15. Nbus stands for Never Before Used Stuff.
If I am not allowed to post this card to both, I do hope someone will be kind enough to let me know.
Thanks for stopping by.
I hope you have a lovely day.
