Crafters of Faith - February

Welcome to the Crafters of Faith on SCS February posting.   I was able to put out a theme for this months challenge!  

I asked the girls to create a card with the following criteria.  Hey, you might want to try the challenge out for yourself!

I have a crafting tool that I just had to have and have hardly used. Does that sound remotely familiar?! I think you all may have the same tool in your arsenal. I would like you to drag out your scoring tool. Scor-Pal mini, biggie, Martha mini, biggie or if you do not have one of those, I am sure that you may have a scoring blade on your paper cutter. SCORE!!! It would be fun to see how you all incorporate scoring onto your card. You know I am into 'use what'cha got', so if you do not have a scoring tool of any sort, please create without this element. Oh and I do not mean just a score to fold your card base in half! LOL

While it is a 'lovely' month February, let's create a card that is not Valentine's themed. That being said, it is the second part of this challenge. Let's not use Valentine theme, red, pink or white colors anywhere on our cards. That includes the paper you stamp your image on....*gasp*!

For our third element, how about we place both an image and a sentiment on the front of the card.


So, I set to work on my own card.    Sssshhhh, I have a secret.  No one can know!   You know that little used crafting tool I challenged everyone to use, the scoring one?!  I forgot!!!   I am such a tool!!!  I totally forgot until I was finished, so I fished out some scraps from the trash.  I only had scraps, because I am using scrap papers.  I put a tiny score in the paper and added the pieces.  There was so much more opportunity to score, if I had not glued everything down already!!!

I so tried taking the photo to represent the actual colors of this card.  Different light, different days, alas to this result.  In person, the colors are a great deep burgundy, peach and a teal type of green.  This goes to show you that even cards can have bad picture days.  Even after the re-takes {think school pictures of the past}!  All this picture and school days talk made me think I needed to listen to this!

 

Please be sure and check out the rest of the COF cards.  The blog links are on the right sidebar.  I cannot wait to see what the girls have thought up!

 

Thanks, for stopping by!
