Happy Friday! I hope you have had a chance to get work settled, and have an opportunity to play along with some of your favorite challenges. The wonderfully creative Maria, over @ Sketch Frenzy Friday, has a lovely sketch for you to work with. Here is her sketch:
Here is what I did:
I wanted to create a card with some pretty spring-themed colors. It's been snowing here, and all I see is white, green, and brown. So, I decided to work with some Stampin' Up! soft subtle colors.
The card base is So Saffron card stock. I first stamped the large doily (Hello, Doily!) in VersaMark and used some white embossing powder. I heat embossed the doily partially off set. I stamped the outline stamp in so saffron classic ink randomly on the card front.
I used the Music Notes wheel and Basic Grey classic ink, to create the music sheet. I used the Measure Stick wheel and whisper white craft ink and white embossing powder to create the measuring tape. I layered these two pieces. I used some Pink Pirouette re-inker to dye the very vanilla seam binding. While it was wet, I crinkled it. I hurried the drying time, with my heat gun. I laid the dyed seam binding across the two stamped pieces, and then machine stitched along the seam binding.
I used the scallop heart stamp and basic grey classic ink, to create the heart piece. I used the matching die to cut the scallop heart out of whisper white card stock. I used the small heart die, from the same set, to cut the so saffron heart. I used dimensionals to lift the yellow heart off the front of the scallop heart. I added some pearls around the border. I stamped the banner piece in basic grey classic ink, and then hand-cut the banner, I adhered the banner with a dimensional, to lift it off the hearts.
I dyed a longer piece of very vanilla seam binding, and created a multi-loop bow. I tied the bow with some white bakers twine and added a button from the Artisan Embellishment kit. I tied the bakers twine into a bow, and glued a pearl to the center of the bow.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope we have inspired you to play along with us @ SFF.
