Happy Hump Day and hoping everyone is doing well! It's time for a new challenge at Outlawz Wednesday Sketch and I have my design team card to share with you. The challenge runs today 11/22 until 12/7. Click on the link HERE for all the details on how to join us!
Our sponsor for November is We Are 3 Digital Shop and I am working with:
Here is our challenge sketch and as you can see, I followed it almost exactly. 😇
The silhouette focal image and mat were cut with Spellbinders Classic Circle dies and the stars were punched. I'm going to be honest: I had a horrible time getting my new inkjet printer to print the silhouette and the paper without bad streaking. Then after multiple bad prints it let me know it needed a fresh ink cartridge. I had to end up printing the plaids on my Laserjet, only for it to tell me afterwards that it needed a new toner cartridge! I was ticked until I looked in my Amazon orders and was reminded I last bought one in 2016, so hey, 5 years I guess is time for new ink. At any rate, looking through the reject prints I found this image and fell in love with it! There were 2 of them on my printsheet, but that's all. I could not reproduce those colors digitally if I tried for a year. And I was pretty surprised the laser plaid looked 10X better than the inkjet plaid. I don't know what it is, I can print collage sheet images and colored digi stamps all day long with my inkjet. At any rate, I finally got all my elements printed one way or another, and it strangely all worked out...this time! 😌 Plus, there are portions of the bad prints that I will be able to trim down and use, I think. But that gorgeous rainbow-y gradation was all because of my printer and not my digital manipulations, just sayin'.
And a final view. I really do like how this one turned out, it was a nail-biter getting there, though, lol! Thanks for checking me out today and until next time, stay well and keep crafting! XOX
MY CHALLENGE PLAYLIST:
I used the colors and the trees

Love the combination of black and white checks, and just perfect contrast with the color in your silhouette scene! Thanks for sharing with us at Cardz 4 Guys.
Gorgeous Christmas card with the variants of Buffalo plaid papers. Your printer worked in your favor on the silhouette background. The colors are beautiful. Thanks for joining the Double D, "Tree" challenge.
What a beauty! The scene is beautiful. I love plaid and looks terrific in black and white!
A lovely card Aimeslee, the focal image looks fabulous - shame you can't re-create it until you next run out of ink!
Love the black/white plaid papers and the pops of gold stars.
