Creative Measures by Tiffany

Good morning everyone. I know I don't usually post this early but here in Virginia we're experiencing some rain storms and flooding so the roads are blocked or flooded out and I can't do my job in these conditions. So, here is the next card for the September challenge in a SU group I'm in and it was to create a fall themed card. I kept it clean and simple with just a little sponging on the edges, some marker coloring, and using a punch. Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. . . Additional supplies: clear blocks. 1. Create a card base from Cucumber Crush card stock that is 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 4 ¼”. I made mine a top- folding card. 2.

Cut a piece of Cucumber Crush to 2 ½” x 4 1/8” and then cut a slightly smaller Whisper White panel. Sponge the edges of eac...
