Howdy. I needed to get a card in the mail this weekend, and needed a bit of inspiration to get those mojo juices moving. I am entering my card into five different, but very inspirational challenges. Lets get started. I stopped by Scrap Magic to work with their current inspirational board.
Mandatory to use Peach and Green, you must also include floral pattern, fabric or gold.
I stopped by Sugar Pea Design to check out their sketch challenge. These ladies are sure to inspire you with their creativity.
I stopped by the faithful challenge of Word Art Wednesday, to see what scripture they are using this week. The scripture of Matthew 11:28 is perfect for my card. {smile}
I stopped by the Brown Sugar Challenge, to see what this talented challenge site has for their current challenge: Anything Goes! Well, that couldn't be simpler!
And finally, I stopped by Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog for their current challenge: Flowers & Trim. They don't have a required number of flowers, so this one will do {smile}.
and here is what I made:
this card was selected as a Top 3 Winner @ Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge Blog.
Recipe: I used crumb cake card stock for the card base. I used a green polka dot pattern paper from Authentique. The peach blossom pattern paper is from Authentique, from the Grace collection. The peach pattern paper used for the scallop trim, as well as the peach text pattern paper are from the Grace collection, as well. I added a simple border stitch with my sewing machine, to help convey that homespun feeling.
I tied peach seam binding around the card, and added a little more machine stitching. I tied a multi-loop bow with the same peach seam binding. I added a green paper blossom, from Kaiser crafts, just above the bow. I tied a scrap piece of gold thin tinsel around the multi-loop bow.
To help tie the gold accent, I added a trio gold sequins. I printed the scripture onto whisper white card stock. I cut the scripture into a tag, and adhered it to the card front with foam tape. I added a scrap piece of peach seam binding. I tied the seam binding with a scrap piece of pistachio twine.
Thank you for looking. I might be able to get a better photo tomorrow.
