The girls at Cornish Heritage Farms are having another Blitz, this time to celebrate new Kim Hughes releases so the focus is on KH stamps. I only have one Kim Hughes set so this is my fourth challenge card using Silhouette Blooms I and it's for Challenge 4 - combine with other CHF stamp lines (which is actually Sunday's challenge but I'm trying to stay ahead of myself!).
Daring Cardmakers this week asked us to use quotations on our cards. I picked one from Eleanor Roosevelt and printed it out from the computer. The fonts are Baskerville Old Face and Edwardian Script ITC (Am I the only one to take an absolute age to decide on fonts for projects? An Ice Age would be faster sometimes!).
Finally, Notimetostamp Challenge #38 is to use silhouette style stamps in this week's Stamp Simply challenge.
Supplies: Silhouette Blooms I, Beautiful and Weathered Wood backgrounder (all CHF), Tim Holtz Distress ink (Antique Linen, Tea Dye, Walnut Stain), Clearsnap Chalk ink Chestnut Roan, Antique copper square brad, computer and printer.
As ever, edges are scissor distressed - I still haven't quite grasped the point of having a specific tool for this!
Thanks for visiting today - hope you enjoyed it!

fab - really love this card joanne - as you have seen i have an edge distresser but can't find it and i found scissors easier anyway so maybe it should stay lost!! xx
What a beautiful job, love the distressed edges and your silhouette is very lovely in the tawny colors. TFS. I use a SU edge distresser; however, it just sort of nubs up the edge I will try the scissor technique and see what happens. Pat
