Howdy! I had a few custom orders to get completed and out in the mail. Whew. Love being busy. It keeps me focused. And on a personal note, I am up to 7 miles. Running. I am working on my time, and distance. [If you didn't know, I am training for a half marathon. check out my InstaGram page.]
The easiest paper crafting style I can create, is shabby chic, with a bit of vintage thrown in for good measure. I am a sucker for pink, vanilla, text, seam binding, lace, and paper blossoms. And thanks to the world wide web, I can see what folks from a round the world create. And so, for today's card, I am participating in two Russian challenges.
To give me some inspiration, I chose to work with the inspiration board provided by Scrap Magic.
They have requirements. Colors: Sand, & Pink. Mandatory elements: rose, ribbon, metal, and wear.
What a beautiful collage. I love the soft, sweet colors, and the little additions of gold. Very pretty. This challenge closes on July 1st. So, I may be submitting another paper craft {smile}.
Now, to give me some direction, I chose to work with art-kladovaya. I love this sketch!
I love the circle elements and the pattern piece at the top right of the sketch. This challenge is almost closed. this challenge site closed minutes before I could add my entry. {frown}
And here is what I created:
Recipe: I used a kraft yardstick from a big box store. I love the softness of the kraft brown. For the pink bottle pattern paper, I used Carta Bella latest baby girl pattern paper. For the pink & brown polka dot pattern paper, its a scrap from Impressions (at least 8 yrs old).
I did a double simple border stitch. I added a little distressing to the edges of the papers, including sponging. I tore the paper and added a scrap piece of cotton trim in the tear, and then added some stitching along the bottom of the tear.
I added three different ribbon scraps under the heart brad for my sentiment. I added a trio of paper blossoms (two pink, and one brown) I thought the colors would go nicely with the card. I added leaves cut from text paper, to give some contrast. I added two kraft vintage buttons by Paper Trey Ink. I added a 'cute' lightbulb and a scrap piece of cream tule.
Thank you for stopping by! I'll get back in my craft room. I have a few special orders to get out in the next few weeks. {smile} A little sneak peak, I ordered some beautiful holiday elements to add to my Christmas crafts for this years craft fair. I'm super excited to see them in person!
