the reject post

Amber over at Damask Love hosts a fabulous reject blog hop, so I thought I would link up a couple of my latest rejects, from the most recent Papercrafts Magazine call. Head over and check out the blog hop and her other fabulous  designs.
I know I'm a tad late with this post, but better late than never right?
For some reason I was really drawn to the text category!
This first one came about because Polariods seem to be all the rage right now, or maybe were......and I was inspired by my friend Lindy who designs polaroid cards with her own photographs, find her at Crafted by Lindy on Etsy. 

I wanted to do something similar with my own photos but I wanted to do a mini picture with some text behind it? I actually LOVE how it turned out.

My second card uses some masking and this Hero Arts stamp I am so in love with lately.


I used the same size rectangle to mask that is typical me but I didn't do a blue background with it!! I stamped text instead! I kept the mask down then stamped the silhouette stamp twice, using my stampamajig. In hindsight I think next time I will stamp it a couple more times so you are unable to see the text behind the silhouette. I plan on trying this with some different colours, red, orange, yellow silhouette on black text maybe? I don't know. :)

Well that's my reject post, thanks for sharing it with me!
And thanks for stopping by!

  1. I love both of them! The 2nd one is really cool - if you try it out with a lighter text in the background and in different colors, you should post again! I'd love to see :)

  8. Both your cards are amazing Kasia! My fave would have to be the kraft (I seem to have a major attachment to it at the moment)!
