It's not officially spring, yet. But the weather in certain parts of the country make you think it is. And what a perfect time to celebrate the arrival of a new bundle of joy!
I selected some pretty pattern papers in some beautifully soft hues of spring. Now I have 3 grandsons, but my granddaughters out number them 4 to 3. For me, making girly stuff, is sooo much easier than making boy stuff. So why fight it.
I looked around the internet, and found a super usable sketch for this particular creations, over @ Cardabilites. Here is their sketch:
I just love all the banner pieces, staggered, and a variety of patterns. It even has a sentiment banner!
This card was really a lot of fun to make {smile}. The difficult part was photographing it. The embossed piece would either look 'black' or a shadow. urg.
I heat embossed the sentiment in pewter embossing powder onto vellum card stock. I used pattern paper from a variety of different companies. I used a half 4" white paper doily for the scallop trim pieces. I added a multi-loop bow under my corduroy button for the embellishment. I added some machine stitching around the border of the card. I thought it would add a little homespun creativity.
My ribbon piece, is actually two pieces. I machine sewn the ribbon to the front of the card, with the bakers twine under, created a multi-loop bow, and used the bakers twine to secure the button to the bow. Here is a photo:
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you get a chance to play along with the wonderful folks @ Cardabilites. This card will be for sale at the Spring Craft Fair at the Albuquerque Christian School, March 15, 2014.
