You may remember back in January, one of my cards made the 'top 3' for the Cut It Up Challenge #243 and they asked if I would like to be a guest designer for one of their future challenges! Yes, me! WOW! You could have knocked me over with a feather ......... ofcourse, I said 'Yes'
So here we go, my first ever 'Guest Designer Spot'
The challenge is '#245 - Love/Valentines Day', and ofcourse, you must use a die!
It will be our 40th Wedding Anniversary on 13th February, and ofcourse Valentines Day is on the 14th.
So, this is what I came up with.
Handmade background using Stampin Up inks - Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip; Delicata inks Golden Glitz & Champagne.
Honey Bee Sentiments stamped with StazOn Ganache, 'love you' die cut 3 times, layered and mounted with 3D foam squares.
Topper mounted onto Dark brown cardstock.
Gold Hearts embellishments, Heart shaped punch with '40' gold stickers added with 3D foam squares.
I do struggle a little bit when making cards for Mr Fixit - I try to make them masculine and not have too much bling .... he is not a blingy guy LOL and he HATES glitter (mainly because it escapes the craft room and gets EVERYWHERE!)
A nice simple card, with not too much fuss and just the right amount of bling! Who says a CAS card has to be white? ;)
The As You Like It Challenge asks 'True Love or Fabulous Friendships' ..... well it may depend on the time of year the question is asked, but I really do love it when I get to make a card for 'my man/my true love' and feel confident that he will love it too!
