This was my original thought for the Merry Little Christmas prompt. I used the little berry sprig from Easy Events in 1-7/8" squares. I did use a stamp-a-ma-jig to make sure they were all in the same place so the wreath I was attempting to make with them would flow smoothly. The four squares fit perfectly on a 4" larger square and I opted to make the card square. I found some red and white faux wood grain dsp for the background and pulled out a piece of Handsome Hunter for the card base. The images were stamped with Memento Black ink and colored with my SU markers and blender pen. I added some dark red (not sure of the source) cotton twine for the bows. I'm not sure if it's the lighting of the photo or what I see on my computer, but IRL the colors pop quite nicely.
Now, on a totally different thought - I was posting a comment on someone's blog yesterday and you know the "Please Prove You're Not A Robot" prompt, well trust me, this really does say "Legacy of a rat". Cracked me up! Sounds like the title of a book or something, no? I have some other of these prompts saved that were funny, I'll have to go fish around for them. Has anyone else out there ever gotten one of these that made you go HMMM? Not counting the number or letter ones that are so fuzzy you have to try 2 or 3 times before you get it right. I know some people think it's a pain to have to "prove you're not a robot" but I think it does help cut down on the unwanted spam.
What would be the Legacy of a Rat?
How did you take a screen shot of that? I've noticed lately some weird combinations of letters and thought it was just me. I'd like to be able to prove it.
ReplyDeletelotta joy - I used my camera. It has a setting for "through the glass" but you still can see the wavy lines that show up when you look through the camera. I'll have to try a screen shot the next time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun wreath design ... and kudos for bringing out the stamp-a-ma-jig ... I just always *eye ball* it ... so glad you joined us again at jingle belles.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! . . . and I love "legacy of a rat" I can't say I have ever had a combination of words that fun. have a great day!
ReplyDeleteGreat work creating a sweet and simple wreath - it takes time (I know from bitter experience) to work out the optimum spacing for something like this!
ReplyDeleteLegacy of a rat - Weil's disease??
Those fuzzy "not-a-robot" proofs are a pain, 3 fails and I give up.
If you have any image editing program, you should be able to press the Print Screen button on your keyboard, and then paste it into an open blank document - which is how I do any screenshots I need. Some programmes even offer you the option, when you go to Create New Image, of creating it from the clipboard, which is essentially where the image goes when you press Print Screen.
Oh, your card is brilliant, Lorraine! I never would have thought of making a wreath! And as for the Legacy of a Rat? Don't get me started. lol
ReplyDeleteOoooh, love the window pane idea. Legacy of a rat...hmmm. Sure is funny, though!
