This card is going into the challenge at Unscripted Sketches #155. It's been a while since I played along, so it's about time :) This week it's a Piggyback Challenge. The additional challenge is to use something recycled.
My card ~
Anyway, I've been in the mood to use some of these sweet, retro themed patterned papers from October Afternoon. I figured this card is the perfect excuse (yeah, like I needed an excuse). I chose 3 patterns and then added some machine stitching. The sentiment panel was die cut. And that final touch was the vintage button, tied with some twine. Yup. I'm likin' it :)
Thanks so much for taking a look!
What's in it?
card stock: confetti cream (SU)
stamp: mother's day (Stampendous)
patterned paper: modern homemaker 8 x 8 pad (October Afternoon)
other: rectangle die (Spellbinders), twine, vintage yellow button from an old button jar, foam tape, scor-tape, pop-up glue dot, sewing machine, thread
