Rock & Roll

Looking through boxes here yesterday, I came across some toppers (I think by KanBan) and this was a real quickie to make:

I liked the way the different toppers sort of slot together one above another - trust me, Dumbo here had some really weird combinations whilst sorting through the shapes :)

I used:

- white DL card stock

- KanBan 'Rock & Roll' toppers

- a snippet of music printed ribbon (snort, I wonder if it's rock or classical?)

Friday, and the weekend beckons - yippee!

A change is as good as a rest

Yesterday I had a little play - the weather was too bad to do much else :) That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

When I showed my in-house critic the results he said 'Love them, very clean and simple. Less is more works'!! Ahem, for ages he's been saying that white backgrounds look too stark, and once I closed my mouth that was agape with shock, I now know he meant white backgrounds behind certain stamped images. And as for using CAS and LIM in his comments, I think that guy has been doing some blog-hopping on the quiet!

This is what I came up with, two cards with the matting card, sentiment stamp colour and ribbons switched:

I used:

- 6" square plain white cards

- Image - Hero Arts stamp from the Watercolour Petals set (fab set BTW!)

- Sentiment - Elzybells

- Blue and green backing card from my snippets (Yay!)

- Inks - Tsukineko  Brilliance - Pearl Thyme and Mediterranean Blue

- Ribbons - from my stash

 

As I used snippets here, I'm entering this into Jules Crafty Snippets Challenge Week 34 - just in case I don't get round to making the other card I had in mind for this week!

 

It's p*ssing lashing it down with rain here today - nothing for it but to play some more, oh, and make the Victoria Sandwich cake I've been promising the Boss as a rainy day bit of indulgence. His kind comments yesterday deserve a reward!

 

If you're sneaking a peek at this whilst at work - your boss has just walked up behind you!! And don't fret 'cos you're as well off there as anywhere today, except your craft room I guess :)

 

Have a good day!
