I could NOT sleep last night so I got up and made a card! Typical!
I am linking it to the new eclectic Paperie Challenge for June to use fabric and to the CC3C #3 Challenge (for my second entry) using Faux Tea Roses.
I am linking it to the new eclectic Paperie Challenge for June to use fabric and to the CC3C #3 Challenge (for my second entry) using Faux Tea Roses.
Here you go:
I made a Faux tea rose using my sons old jeans! I also used an inside seam to make a border!
I ended up making three roses (experimenting with the denim) and found the one I liked best (which was also the easiest to work with) is the one I backed with TH Kraft core paper - core'dinations (the one on the left).
Here is my card!
The Fleur de Froment is from the Tim Holtz Ephemera Pack which I back with the same kraft-core paper . I distressed all the edges with tea dye distress ink. Do you see the blue paper peeking out? It's a left over piece I made with Tim Holtz Distress Paints and the marbeling technique. All of these layers are back by an idea-ology kraft resist page. The jute string that matches so perfectly is Tim Holtz idea-ology jute string.
Here is the sentiment. I made this for my son's Birthday on June 18th. He will be mad I cut up his torn jeans! He wanted me to fix them but they were beyond repair!
I hope you like my card!
I also hope you come play with us at eclectic Paperie and create with fabric!
