I'm not having a good day today - I've been having headaches which it turns out are due to high blood pressure so I was put on meds yesterday which are making me throw up and swell up too - oh joy! I was looking forward to a quiet day of crafting but feel to dizzy to sit up properly. I did manage this weeks's Less is More challenge before the tablets kicked in as it was a nice easy one layer card....
The challenge was to feature script on your card other than your sentiment, so I went straight to my favourite Waltzingmouse sets which are all about cowboys. I embossed the background border and the cowboy in black to form a silhouette and then used the background text border twice just with versamark ink to create a watermark effect which I think shows up brilliantly on kraft. I embossed one of the senitments above to finish it off and add balance.
Hola Tara, great idea, fantastic silhouette card.

Lovely card. Hope you feel better soon - new meds can take a while to get used to.

ReplyDeleteI hope you're sorted out soon, it sounds miserable, I hope you'll feel better really soon.
