WE'RE OFF AND RUNNING!

Well hello again! I forgot I had another post obligation, so now you get to hear from me one more time before Saturday!! Yeah! I will make it brief!  I have to say today was not a good day, and it took me ages to come up with this card, which I had to completely redo because of all the boo-boos I tried to cover up!! Please tell me that that happens to you too?

Anyway, here is the end result using one of the latest Sparkle N Sprinkle sets 522: Running:


The background was sponged with Memento Summer Sky and New Sprout. I then cut out the embossed buntings from a Darice embossing folder from yellow cardstock and hand-wrote the letters. 

The runners were stamped in Memento black and colored in with Copics. 

The sentiment was stamped with Versamark and after hand-cutting the banner, the edges were distressed with a little Versamark and heat embossed with Dandy Dandelion.

After distressing the yellow base card with the same Dandy Dandelion, the card was assembled as shown.

See you Saturday?

Hugs,

Shona

  1. I don't know about enjoying running (haha) but I think your card is fantastic! Love the banners and how you offset the people to look like they are in different areas of the race. And yes, I make boo boo's all the time!
