Happy, happy Friday! Any fun plans for the weekend? We have baseball practice, a bowling fundraiser and lots of NCAA basketball to watch! Sounds like the perfect weekend to me! But...before I get to that...if you're interested in all my chatter about Ryan's show choir group, I thought you'd like to see a video of their performance! I've seen them perform a lot, but I still love to watch them perform! Click here for the YouTube Video. Ryan is in the second row on the right for the first song, first row on the left for the second half of song two, in the middle for the third song and on the right second row for the last two songs. Let me know what you think!
Now onto my card! Day 3 at Pattern Play talked about how to use bolder pattern papers. Debby Hughes (the amazing! Debby Hughes) did a tutorial on bold pattern papers and using them in small portions on your card. Now the flower pattern below isn't really bold, but I wouldn't want to do an entire card with it, so I went with a negative die and attached the patterned paper to the card base. I'm on a bit of a PTI Soft Stone kick for card bases. I'm thinking I'll need to order some soon!
ETA: I'm also entering this in the current Passion for PaperTrey Challenge to use a negative die cut!
Have a fabulous weekend my friends!
I think: PROUD PROUD PROUD!!!! Congratulations on having such a talented boy!
ReplyDeleteyour card is stunning! Great idea to use a negative die! PTI has stuff, I'd like to have it all (-;
My plans for today? Baking an apple pie and having guests. It's my birthday today... (-;
Wow! They are fabulous Lynn!
ReplyDeleteSo is your card, LOVE it!
That was really cool. I've never seen a show choir before. It must be very popular because you have a ton of kids on the team. So neat....you should be so proud!
ReplyDeleteLove your card and how you used the negative die! So soft and beautiful! Off to watch the videos now. :) TFS!!!
ReplyDeleteYay, I'm so glad they have a video online so we can see them again. Michal will be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteGreat card too. Love the layout. I know what you mean about Soft Stone cs. I just got some a while ago and love it.
LOVE what you did with your paper and the negative die. Great work!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good student, Lynn! Love how your card turned out - beautiful design with that pretty pattern showing through the negative space!
ReplyDeleteLoved watching the show choir video! The whole group looks amazing - they are really good! So glad you shared it! Happy weekend and YAY for lots of basketball! (we'll be watching the Minnesota Gophers with fingers crossed tonight.)
I feel honoured that I saw the video first! LOL lOVE this idea of the little window showing off that great paper. I'm learning so much just from you (and Suzanne!). Soft stone is fabulous, isn't it? My go to neutral when white is too white!
ReplyDeleteLove that negative window and the paper behind it. Great card! Will catch the video later as have to head out right now. Can't wait to see it! Have a great w/e :)
ReplyDeleteOh you must be one proud parent, Lynn! It's wonderful to actually hear and see the action that you've been reporting on!
ReplyDeleteFab use of negative space and patterned paper on this card - you could enter this beauty into our current challenge on A Passion for Papertrey if you fancied it?
Hugs!
