ETA: I found an amazing blog hop for those who threw their hat into the publication ring and didn't get picked up. It's called The Contenders blog hop. How fun is this :)
So I tried my hand at a publication call. I didn't get the call. Oh well, at least I tired and I had fun doing it. Many things could have turned their head like poor photo quality or even my write up on the cards. It did kinda stings that I didn't get any of my cards picked up but I will get over it. Now I can show them on my blog, lol. I ended up submitting four cards and over the next couple of weeks I will post them here. In the meantime, here's the first one.
This card was fun to create and it wasn't your normal card size and it was for a sunshine call. I tried to think beyond the usual. This one came in at 3 1/4 x 5 1/4. To get the cloudy day look I embossed some clouds from PTI's Up Up & Away. I sprinkled some silver embossing powder into the mix so that I could get more of a grey sky kind of thing. I think it came out more cloudy than grey sky but it's all good. Once you open the vellum layer you see the sunshine that was peeking through the clouds. I created the sun with PTI's Hello Sunshine. The sentiment is embossed in silver.
When I get some more free time (and out of my funk that seems to be staying around longer that normal) I will try more calls because I really did find it fun.
