This week's Friday Mashup is a good challenge because I am always in need of Get Well cards! I have had a busy week with work and with life. I spent three days of the week, swimming after work, trying to get into better shape! I also have a lot of emails to catch up on, I just have not had the chance to reply!! I promise to get to them soon! It is report card season I am going to be on the computer all weekend writing them!! But as soon as they are done, I will be back into the swing of things!
This week for the Mashup Challenge, you are welcome to:
- Create a project with soft texture...fabric, felt, even cotton balls (ribbon doesn't count).
- Create a Get Well project.
- Or "Mash it Up!" and create a Get Well project using a Soft Texture!
I don't own any fabric and so I decided to just make a Get Well Card. One of the new Summer items I have not used yet is the new Flower Garden Embossing Folder. I actually embossed some velum with the folder and then turned the velum over, colouring the image from behind. I used the colours Regal Rose, River Rock and Early Espresso. I have always wanted to try this technique, what do you think?
We hope that you will join the Friday Mashup Challenge this week! Please be sure to visit the other DT Members to see their wonderful creations!
