Howdy. Welcome. and yeah, I'm still crafting for my craft fairs {smile}. I have been working on several more clear box totes. But, I took a quick break and created an A2 card with more shabby chic pretty pattern papers from the Sweet Peppermint collection by Prima. I also inked a new stamp set that arrived in the mail, yesterday.
I am entering this card in three card challenge sites: Brown Sugar Challenge, Word Art Wednesday, and Stampin' Royality.
The first challenge, I am entering is Brown Sugar Challenge . Their current challenge is Anything Goes. I am sure that you will be inspired by this creative design team.
The second challenge, I am entering is Word Art Wednesday. Their current challenge is Anything Goes. This is a faith based challenge site. You are not required to use the scripture, but I am sure you will be happy to do so {smile}.
The final challenge, that I am entering is Stampin' Royalty. The design team uses Stampin' Up! products, but you are not required to. Their current challenge is All That Glitters - use glitter somewhere on your project. Easy peasy. And who doesn't like glitter? {smile}
*my card was selected as one of the 'top picks' for this challenge! Thank You!
here is what I made:
Recipe: The card base is made with the Crumb Cake card stock by Stampin' Up! I just love the heavy weight of their card stock. And the color is so darn beautiful!
The pattern paper is Sweet Peppermint by Prima. I just love both os these patterns: the soft pastel colored polka dots with some random sheet music print. And the white snowflakes and white polka dots on a mint colored background is so pretty and sweet {smile}. I added a quick and simple border stitch with my sewing machine to help convey a homespun look.
I added a rose pink cotton scallop trim and a kraft-dyed seam binding across the bottom third of my card. I just love the softness of these two colors together {smile}. I crinkled the seam binding, to help give it a 'worn' look. I created a multi-loop bow with the crinkled, kraft-dyed seam binding.
I used a medium snowflake die by Paper Trey Ink and silver glimmer paper (aka glitter paper) by Stampin' Up! to create the snowflake focal piece.
I made a little tag, for my sentiment. I used a scrap piece of linen white card stock by Paper Trey Ink. I inked up a new stamp set I received in the mail: Rustic Wreath by Paper Trey Ink. I inked the stamp set with Baked Brown Sugar classic ink, by Stampin' Up!. I just love the soft pale brown ink color. I tied a scrap piece of pink sequin trim to the tiny tag, with a length of candy pink bakers twine.
My card is pretty plain, but pretty {smile}! Thank you for stopping by! I have finished a few more little wooden houses, so I'll share a few photos soon. {smile}
