Wedding Bells - Fab Friday @ Tiddly Inks

It's Friday again, so time for a Fab Friday Tiddly Inks post - yay!  Usually I do at least a bit of a spiel before I show the card but I've got nothing to say here.....though I do have something to say, but it would make more sense to talk about it after you've seen the card.  Well, there I go.  Using the fact that I had nothing to say, as something to say, has now, in effect, made this whole paragraph pretty much meaningless......so onward, I guess.....

Here's my card....


I used Wedding Bells.  So perfect for all those upcoming weddings you need to make cards for!

So, dear Readers, have you noticed something different about my last few cards?  You have?  (I know most of you are probably shaking your heads or shrugging your shoulders right now but I like to pretend that there are people out there who actually read my blog, and furthermore, actually pay attention enough that they would observe a change so just go along with me here, 'kay?)  That's right....I've not been using textured cardstock to colour on for my last few.  I decided to switch it up a bit and go back to just regular ole white cardstock....though it's cheap-crap cardstock, $4.00 for 50 sheets of 8.5 x 11 when it's on sale.  I prefer it to the more expensive smooth best-for-Copics varieties (seeing as I use pencils I don't need Copic paper anyway) as I like a little tooth in my paper (obviously seeing as I like to colour on textured cardstock too).  I probably won't be giving up the textured completely, especially since I've got a few images pre-printed and cut out from before I decided to go back to the smooth, but I'm enjoying the little shake up of my crafty life.  (And this change is going way better than my attempts at watercolouring and non-digi stamping....as you'll notice you've not seen any of those horrors hitting my blog.  Nor will you until I can manage something postable!)


Make sure you go check out the other fabulous Fabby Friday makes the rest of the DT has come up with.  You can see 'em all right here.

Also for:

Colour Crazy:  anything goes
Jo's Scrap Shack:  anything goes
The Crafty Addicts:  anything goes
Dream Valley:  different coloured hair - I'm not sure if the challenge is "different" as in unusual or "different" as like I have on my card, two people with hair colour that's not the same.  If it's not the latter, feel free to delete my entry.

  1. I have to admit, I was so blown away by the overall gorgeousness of your latest cards that I hadn't noticed the change in paper for your images. Okay, but now that you mention it, I see it. I've tried more expensive 'just for pencils' paper and less expensive what-ever-I-can-find, and the 'whatever' tends to be as good, if not better, than the more expensive, so I'm with you on that. Now, as to this card, I don't normally like wedding cards, but having said that, I like yours! It's devoid of overly cuteness and has an elegant, clean design . . . bravo!

Okay, so ever since I started my blog (well, maybe not right from the get-go, it was probably a good six months or so before I realized you could change it from just "Leave your comment") I've tried to come up with something witty to type here.

Nope, I still got nothing.
