Last Friday was a GREAT day for me. After many, many attempts, I finally had a card picked up by Papercrafts Magazine....it'll be published in this year's July/August edition.
Of course I submitted more than one card, so there were several 'unloved cards'. Annette Witherspoon is hosting a blog hop for creations that didn't get picked up called 'The Contenders', and I'm linking this one up there.
This was for one of the sketches. For the four quadrants, I just pressed my ink pads directly on the paper. It's an inexact science, but I think it goes with the look of the card. I only have a yellow, pink, and orange neon pad, so the fourth quadrant was colored with both the yellow and pink pads.
The sentiment is from Unity's One of a Kind set, so I'm going to link up over at Unity for this week's Friends with Flair too.
Hope you have a great end to your week!
Supplies Used
Paper/Cardstock: CTMH - White Daisy cardstock; Bazzill - Licorice Twist Card Shoppe cardstock
Stamps: Unity - One of a Kind
Ink: Hero Arts - Neon Orange, Yellow and Pink; Memento - Tuxedo Black
Other: Tombow Mono Adhesive
