Here are this week's colors for our CR84FN Color Challenge! Come play with us!
This card was designed around several key elements, some new and some old! The first thing I did was cut out a Spellbinders scalloped square from my new PTI coaster. I am truly IN LOVE with those coasters!! I distressed the edges and then wove the leaf ribbon I HAD to HAVE but never really used through the loops. Next up were my FAB buy ~ those Prima flowers I bought at the half price scrapbook store in Destin, FL. It's hit or miss but these flowers were a big HIT! I bought several packages! Check out what the other Design Team members listed in my sidebar have created to inspire you plus welcome our Guest Designer for the month of April, Silke Ledlow! Thanks, Silke, for joining us ~ you will be such a FABULOUS addition to our team!!!
Here is MY card ~ I hope you like it! It is going to be the Birthday Card for my special friend Loretta who looks at all of my cards and gives me her valuable opinions. I got her into card making, much to her husband's dismay, and we spend lots of time on the phone discussing different blogs and products we've seen! LOL! Her birthday isn't until May but she loved the card so much that I am going to save it and give it to her then! So Loretta, Wish Big!
Then the layering began! The leaf paper was in my stash. I backed it with SU Soft Suede (embossed with the SU Square Lattice folder) and stitched it onto PTI Ripe Avocado. All of these layers were attached to a SU Kraft card.
Here is a close up of the seam binding and twine bow and those 3 tiny tags from my new PTI goodies, all cut out of the coasters. The little text tag is paper from the packaging for that FAB seam binding from Prairie Bird Boutique and the Wish Big is a stamp from PTI's Tiny Tag set All three tags were distressed and tied on the scallops with twine.
Let me know what you think!
