CASology #227

It's all about space, something I have little of in my craft room, but something I had to convey in a card for CASology.  I went with this definition: An element of art, space refers to distance or areas around, between or within components of a piece.  Space can be positive (white) or negative (black), open or closed, shallow or deep, and two or three dimensional

It's sort of three dimensional since I did pop up the white (positive) die cut over the black (negative) to make it appear deep with some open and closed spaces and plenty of area around the image (cross quilt coverplate by PTI).  I thought it looked a little like a maze so I went with this sentiment also by PTI.  All that for one little card for one of my favorite challenges. *_*

It's been snowing since early morning and we've shoveled the driveway twice already.  Time to hunker down and do some serious crafting.  See you in the next post.  Stay safe.

Just Us Girls #346

It's my turn to host Just Us Girls for Word Week and I picked "Birds" for my word.  Not only do I love watching birds but there are so many different bird stamps out there that I thought it would be fun to see what you all come up with

For my card I used Tim Holtz's Crazy Birds.

I stamped three birds with VersaFine Black Onyx and colored them with Zigs.  The sentiment is from PTI and stamped on a hand cut flag.

Now it's your turn.  There is plenty more inspiration for you from the JUGS Design Team and Guest Designer Cornelia Wenokor.  Pull out your best bird stamp and enter it in the gallery.  You may be picked as Chic of The Week and have a chance to be a guest designer like Cornelia.

I hope to see you there.
