Hardware Thanks
I love the new products in the occasional mini catalog!
For my sample for this weeks sketch challenge I used the Afternoon Tea Designer paper, the new Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware as well as the new set Live your Dream.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Soft Sky cardstock.
Next is a 4″ x 5 1/4″ ticket corner punched piece of Chocolate Chip.
The four Designer Paper rectangles measure 1 7/8″ x 2 1/2″. Each has the outer corner ticket corner punched as well.
The seams are stamped with the Argyle stamp from All in a Row.
The Chocolate chip layer in the middle of the card measures 2 1/4″ x 3 3/4″, the following Soft Sky layer is a 1/4″ smaller. The Shimmery White layer measures 1 7/8″ x 2 1/2″. It was first stamped with the line stamp from Live your Dream in Soft Sky. Next I inked up the big flower stamp with Groovy Guava and Wild Wasabi ink and added Chocolate chip the center of each flower with my marker.
After I taped that layer down, I added more faux stitching with my Argyle stamp.
The bird was stamped in Soft Sky on a 1 1/4″ Shimmery White circle. Over it I stamped Thanks in Chocolate Chip. It was layered first on a 1 3/8″ Chocolate Chip circle, then on a Groovy Guava scallop circle.
I punched a small hole in the top of the sentiment layer with my Crop-a-dile and threaded Wild Wasabi Stitched Ribbon through. After threading both ends through one of the new Styled Silver ribbon buckles I tied the ribbon together.
On the bottom right I punched three small holes and layered Ice Rhinestone brads over the same ribbon buckle used for the ribbon. I saw this idea at SCS on this card by Betty and new I wanted to show it off in one of my cards.
