This is my card for the Sketch Challenge on splitcoaststamper.com located here. This is a really cute sketch, but I couldn't seem to get a focus. So I just kept doing things until this pretty card turned up. Someone called it "the Creative Process".
The background is an A2 sized scrap of Co'ordinations Tim Holtz Ranger Distressed cardstock. I guess they all get a piece of the profit today. I love the stuff. The stripes are Recollections from Michaels and the pennants - there are two together - on top are what was left of a discarded paint chip. I tied a doubled piece of twine - actually a "thread" pulled out of a big piece of burlap, and when one end was longer, I just let it hang because I liked the look. Didn't want it swinging, so I attached it with a brad.
I cut a Spellbinders Petite Oval from a scrap, embossed the edge and then got to use my new Memory Box Honeyblossom Sprig die which I love. I just glued it over the top. Then I decided it better say something. Ask anyone who knows me, I'm big on "saying something", so I added a Rubbernecker "Thank You". I am pleased.
This is BEAUTIFUL. I love your design and colors - hugs!
ReplyDeleteNeat card! I like the bkgrd color/paper and the scrap pennants are such complimentary colors to it. :)
