CFC76 - Getting Krafty



This week's CAS-ual Friday challenge is to use Kraft.



For this card, I cut and stamped the kraft panel with the million little dots, concentrating them in the centre and spreading them out towards the edges. Then I stamped the Stampin' Up sentiment in black on the kraft panel. Didn't like it. And thought about a new and exciting (for me) way to create a new sentiment area.

I got out my craft knife. Yes, they let me use sharp tools around here (how else would they get fed?!). I cut two slits in my white mat layer and slid the kraft panel through. It's loosely attached, but I wanted it to look quite casual as if it was sitting in there on its own.

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend. Kate and I are going to see a live production of Willy Wonka tonight with one of my sisters and her two children. It will be a very late night (the theatre's two  hours away, where my sister lives), but we're looking forward to a fun dinner with Grandma and Grandpa and then the show!

    This card is very crafty indeed! I cannot imagine having the patience to stamp all those dots! It looks like store bought patterned paper. Love the bold sentiment too :)

    You've done it again......totally unique! I'm sure there is some trick to making those dots look random, but I'm gonna try it anyway. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Have fun with Kate.

  7. I thought you were going to say you cut the sentiment off and put the pieces back on either side of the stamped sentiment. You fooled me. Great idea.
