This is my card for this week’s Teapot TuesdayChallenge. This week, our cards are
going out to a Sister-SCS’er, Cheryl (cherylquilts). The theme of this week’s challenge is “threads,
pins, needles, patches.” I took some
creative license and expanded that into quilting since, according to Cheryl’s username,
she is a quilter.
Since I am in the middle of reorganizing my art studio (and
it is a disaster area right now!), I wanted to keep to a simple card that didn’t
require dragging out a lot of supplies.
While cleaning out my paper scraps earlier this week, I ran across a 6x6 pad of Basic Gray
“Out of Print” designer paper that I had forgotten about. The flowered sheet is perfect for a quilted
motif – all I had to do was emboss it with my We R Memory Keepers 3D embossing
folder. The black border is also from the same Basic Gray paper pad, so of
course, it coordinates perfectly with the flowered paper. Easy
Peasy!
I had strips of both papers left over, so I used a border
punch along the black piece. I flipped the flowered piece over and stamped on
the white side. (I apologize, but I do not know what company the stamp is from.) I then glued the two pieces together, trimmed them to size, used my clear
glitter pen over the sentiment, and popped up the piece with 3M mounting
tape. I found the Lindy’s Stamp Gang
brass butterfly charm while cleaning and had set it on my desk. Turns out that it was perfect for this card
so I used teensy pieces of 3M mounting tape on the back & attached it to the
card.
The card base is Fun Stamper’s Journey white cardstock and I
used Archival Black ink.
