FIRST FARM FRESH CHALLENGE-ALL THINGS NEW...

I'm sure by now that everyone knows about TGF's new challenge blog. Their first challenge is 'All things new' as in try something that you usually don't or have never done. So, I tried my hand at heat embossing. Ggggrrr... That is going to have to wait until a much later date. lol...All I have is some white ink and clear embossing powder and I have to admit that I really don't know what I am doing as nothing turn out in any way good at all.... What to try next? Well, I really haven't done much in the way of paper piecing stamped images and I usually put some kind of flower or ribbon on my cards and usually the cards tend to be feminine. Ok, shouldn't be too hard- 1. No ribbon (X) 2. No flowers (X) 3. No Copics other than for skin or hair (X) 4. Masculine (X). I have to admit....I loved how it turned out. I wanted to post this first as I have someone I want to give it to today and I really like having my cards in front of me when I am typing about them. I know it's got to be OCD or something like that. Right? hehee Oh Well! I can live with that

I love, love how his sweater turned out and oh yeah, I did color his pants with Copics, but that was because I wanted them to be corduroys.

It was really fun and I have already made a second card with the paper piecing technique. (Never ever thought that I would like to do that. lol

Well guys I hope you all have a great start to your week. I will talk to you later.

Hugs, Lisa G
