Wee simple card tonight - Stamped a shape from Guidelines 2 (PapertreyInk) onto a circle of Vintage cream cardstock (PapertreyInk), in khaki versacolour ink, stamped the sentiment (Beyond basic borders - PapertreyInk) over it in Paprika versacolour and then stitched it (sewing machine, really slowly) to a square of khaki coloured cardstock from my stash. I had turned the square a little cos I didn't wantt it to be too neat. Then I took my tool of the moment - my distresser (aka steaknife) and roughed up the edges a tad.
Made up a prima flower using two petal shapes and a wee copper eyelet and plonked it on top. Bit o' ribbon and stuck it all on a Vintage cream card base that I had polka dotted in khaki ink, Voila!
Kinda like it but I think I need more practice at this vintage lark. lol. Off to make a wee card, dying to use a wee thingumy I picked up at the craft fair the other day!! more deets tomorrow hopefully!
Hope it tickles.
Might be 'easy peasy', but it has a little bit of everything.....stamping, stitching, distressing, and layering!! I like it! :>

Love these soft colors, the dots and off kilter square - very pretty Claire!
ReplyDeleteNice and simple and very eyecatching to say the least. Another wonderful card :)
ReplyDeleteHow did you get your Guidelines 2 before me, you lucky girl? I think they temporarily lost my order because it was only just shipped on Monday.
ReplyDeleteI love the pop of color in this card. You surely have an artistic eye, Claire!
These are just beautiful! WOWW!!
