Amber over at Damask Love had this great idea to share the cards that didn't make the final cut in the latest Go-to-Sketches Paper Crafts magazine call. I had made six and they all ended up in the reject pile, but that's okay because I had fun making them and now I have six more cards to add to my give away pile.
This one was my favorite one. I had never tried white embossing powder on a dark background and I really liked the end result.
This was my second fave. I used items kicking around the house for this one; bottle cap, packing paper and a piece of a box lol.
My CAS card using just buttons and chipboard.
My attempt at shabby chic lol....I think I better to stick to my other styles :)
This was one of my other faves...l'il love monsters :)
And finally the one I wasn't really crazy about at all (lol).
Be sure to stop over at Damask Love to check out all the other fabulous entries that didn't make the cut!

ReplyDeleteIf these are rejects then I can't wait to see what made it. They are wonderful, my fav would be the second one, it;s great and I love you used found objects!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! It was a crime that these didn't make it in! I love them! My favorite are the first two. Especially that first one. It's a stunner, and usually exactly the kind of thing that's in PCM. I'm almost glad I missed the call and didn't submit. Mine would have never made it! ;) Beautiful work!
