Hello all,
We’re well into January and it’s my second DT make for the theme ‘Get Wordy’ for Country View Crafts and Challenges on Facebook
which can be found here -

There’s still time to enter January’s challenge to win a fabulous prize bundle from Country View Crafts of 'Wordy' goodies worth £25, for a randomly
selected winner.
For my make, this
time I’ve gone with a simple set of cards using words as the
background. You don’t always have to have a sentiment or main word in
your makes. Words can sit quietly on a white background to highlight the
main focal point of a card.
I used AALL and Create Janet
Klein’s Dames Magnifique. I love their quirky faces and they only
needed a simple background to support them. I used the words that are in
the set for the background.
I stamped and heat embossed the Dames in black, then coloured them with Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Watercolour Pencils.
For
the background I cut out 4 squares 2.5 x 2.5 inch, laid my words out in
uniform lines on a stamping platform (you can use a block if you don’t
have a platform) and stamped with a light grey Versafine Clair ink. I mounted these onto black card, leaving a thin edge and then mounted it onto the 5x5 inch white card background.
I
fussy-cut the Dames and placed them onto the backgrounds and there you
have it. A set of 4 cards that can be used for a lot of occasions or
even notelets to write a letter.
You can find the products I used here:

I do hope you're all managing to keep warm and doing lots of crafting, and don't forget you can enter the challenge until 31st January when it closes.
