This last week was my 43rd entry for Craft Roulette – the first one was back on 24 May 2021. It’s also the first challenge I tried as a cardmaker, and each week I do it I continue to be stretched and I get to use stamps and techniques unused previously. It’s so much FUNN (spelling intended).
This week Mr Wheel chose the following parameters to be incorporated into a card:
- Project: Picture frame card – I chose a picture frame as an element within the card
- Colours: #team – as is clearly shown on this blog, I’m definitely on team blue/aqua!
- Element: Communication – I chose a sentiment as my communication item
- Random: Lace or doily – although it’s hard to see, I used lace printed paper for the curtains and a die cut doily for the mat, although that’s mostly covered up
