Lace, twine, distressing, buttons and sewing.
The challenge this week on
Little Paper Shop is distressing, so I used ink to add a vintage touch to all the ivory. This card is based on
Card Patterns sketch #72 , which reminded me of a quilt. I did flip the sketch and added the tag, but all the elements are there. To create my quilt, I stamped the script from LPS's Behind the Scenes and then punched out 3/4" squares, matted and sewed away. The little bird nest was inspired by Joy, who used twine to create the cutest nest
HERE. I pulled out my crimper (and dusted it off) to create my nest - I distressed first, then crimped and cut. Pink is the challenge on
Charisma Cardz. This fits with the fact that I am thinking pink for my pregnant cousin. She does not know the sex, we will find out when the little one arrives next week (I am hoping I get to give this card!).
Plus, this week
Moxie Fab World is challenging all of us with a different style each day. I am going with
Shabby & Vintage on this one.
Smiles,
Julie
