Ann/annsforte3 asked teapotters to have a teaparty for Larry - Sharon's/smadson's hubby - who is recovering after having hip surgery. Anita/snietje challenged us to add a French touch to our cards.
My husband is a basketball enthusiast like Larry, so I started with the idea of using a bouncing ball, but I hit a wall about 'adding a French touch'. I settled on using the colors of the French flag - red, white and blue (thank you for that suggestion, Anita!). It was going to be a pretty straightforward card, but then the Silhouette started acting up. Every time I cut the white part, it would tear the paper (probably because my cutting mat is old, it's not that sticky anymore, or it could also be the white cs I used ) - no matter where I place it in the mat. I tried to neaten it up with a pair of scissors, but it was still very noticeable... I went to bed a little frustrated. This morning, I had the idea of covering up the tear with narrow strips of blue cs, and I'm happy that it worked (*whew*). Actually, I like it better than with just the thin blue lines!
Thank you Anita and Ann for the challenge, and thanks for looking!
