I everyone! I hope you have had a good weekend. And if you are in North America I hope you have kept warm. We felt luck to be running errands while it was up to 10 degrees.
I have a pretty little shabby chic style card today. It showcases the Needle & Thread Bundle I've shown you a few other times. Have you noticed that I have several stamp sets listed on the side bar to make it easier for you to find other cards with the same set. Just click on Needle & Thread and you should see at least 2 other cards with this stamp set.
I had one sheet left of this whitewashed toned wood before starting the new pack. It was the only piece left after I did several convention swaps, each with a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Wood Textures DSP. This piece inspired me to go for a more or less pale shabby chic look with this set.
- If you have it, it is a nice touch to emboss the Wood Textures paper with the Subtle embossing folder. It helps the paper mimic the feel of real wood.
- The Burlap was stamped with Crumb Cake on Crumb Cake card stock.
- I used Soft Suede to stamp stitches from the Needle & Thread stamp set just inside of the "Fringe" so that this distinction would be clear.
- Rough up the edges of your Crumb Cake piece with a scissors' edge if desired.
- I stamped off both the Mossy Meadow for the leaves and the Soft Sea Foam for the flowers because I was going for a soft look. Not quite white flowers but soft enough. You get the idea.Both flowers are cut with the coordinating dies and the smaller one is popped up over the larger.
- The little butterfly is stamped with Soft Sea Foam on card stock of the same color. It coordinate with the Butterfly Duet punch so it is punched out with that before being popped onto the card and embellished with a tiny basic pearl.
- "miss you" is die cut with the Well Written thinlets.
