I just HAD to try my hand at another card for Less is More's die/punch challenge ...found a stamp at AC Moore's, yesterday, that gave me ideas. And when a stamp gives you ideas...well, I go with them...here's the Hero Arts stamp:
Masking the bottom of the stamp, this is what I made with it:
Used Papertrey dies with Papertrey polka dotted paper and chipboard. I decided on the yellow...thinking of a smiley face and put the letters in the shape of a smile...hee hee.... Here's another one:
My many years of cross stitching have begun to come in handy as I have 3 boxes of colored floss (that I almost got rid of NUMEROUS TIMES, but didn't...thankfully) and chose 5 colors that made ME happy when I looked at them. I wrapped floss around a piece of chipboard, comparing the width of each color with the die cut letters. Here's a close up:
I know that my "h" is a little off, but it was hard getting the letters perfect...if anyone has any tips to conquer that...PLEASE let me know....but....that aside.....Yeah...NOW I'm happy!!

These are both fabulous cards Lisa, I would be happy too if I'd created them!
ReplyDeleteI love the curved text but the there'd showing through the letters is just brilliant :0)
I have a good stash of embroidery threads too from my X stitch days :0)
