Hello Everyone!
Yesterday I was excited as I finished another shawl I have had on my needles for quite some time. When I finished my Christmas present for my sister (which she hasn’t gotten yet as I was sick) I decided to spend some time completing some of my projects that I have on needles. There was another reason for this decision. Here lately when I went looking for needles for a project I could not find any tips as they were already with a project. So I have one project completed and off the needles and many left to go.
Today is the challenge at The Paper Plunge. This week our challenge was to use a technique on your card. I had no clue what I was going to do as Jess needed a baby card to send out. I went to SplitcoastStampers and checked out their techniques. There were several I liked that I thought would be fun but I decided to do the grid technique. I have to tell you it took me 3 tries before I got the grid correct. The directions were not clear to me so I ended up using the picture.
After I had the grid correct, I sponged on some Soft Sky all over the cardstock. Then I came back and added some Marina Mist to the edges. The technique has you stamp on top of the grid. I decided to use the Chevron background stamp. I used Marina Mist to stamp the chevron. When it was finished I am wondering if I should have used Soft Sky for the chevron. Here is what I created for our challenge.

Thanks for visiting me today. I have a busy day today so I hope I get everything done. Have a Fabulous Friday!
