Hi all! I've got another card that I made yesterday, but had to wait to photograph it today. And our weather has been so cloudy that it's difficult to get good pics. And, wouldn't you know...now that my photos are edited and I'm ready to post. The sun is out! lol
Anyway. This birthday card is going into 2 challenges.
Lily Pad Cards - Simon Says Stamp Presents a Patterned Paper Challenge.
Unscripted Sketches #144
I chose to rotate this sketch for my card.
I have a 6 x 6 pad of Modern Homemaker patterned paper that is soooo cute. I've been in the mood to pull it out and put some of those sweet papers to use. I've used 2 patterns for this card.
Isn't that retro kitchen paper sweet? I love it. Maybe because I remember those items from my childhood. Hmmm...I'm showing my age :) So. I used a Spellbinders die for the focal image. Slightly off-setting the solid yellow card stock from the striped paper. I added a little machine stitching, a banner for the sentiment and some buttons and ribbon. So fun!
I'll be putting this card in my Etsy shop soon.
Thanks for taking a look!

ReplyDeleteLove it! The yellow offset die really makes the striped paper pop! I too can remember the items...especially the pink mix-master! The stitching finishes everything off perfectly and gives your card a warm 'home made from the heart' feel! Thanks for playing along this week at Unscripted Sketches :)
