CFC72 - Toot Your Own Horn


This week's CASual Friday challenge is really interesting. Make a card inspired by your own blog header.


When I saw this, I 'raced' back to my blog and heaved a huge sigh of dismay. Man, if I had known something like this was coming along, I would have made my header a lot more, ahem, INTERESTING.

That's not to say I don't like my blog header - Minna did a great job incorporating the elements I wanted (the capital MASK and the little mask at the end), but it's not really going to generate a lot of inspiration for cards, now is it? lol!

As it turns out, I have the perfect stamp - this huge DeNami Merry Christmas is just the thing. I stamped it in versamark and embossed it with Silver Lightning embossing powder (you can't see that my blog header is sparkly, can you? lol!)

  4. Your card totally matches your blog header. Mine would look the same exact way, except it would be blue. I need to get me a new blog header.

  6. Nothing stumps you, Ardyth! Good job!! I feel the same way. I like the CAS style of my banner, but a balloon or butterfly would have come in handy about now!!

  10. Well done, Ardyth! Gorgeous card!

    You think your header is challenging inspiration? Mine has to be the starkest, CAS-est, header in history, LOL! I'm still intimidated and wondering if I can do it. :-)

  13. Well done, Ardyth! That De Nami stamp is a pretty good match for your header. My header is bog-standard, and pretty blank, just like my mind!
