I made this card for a friend of my sister. I thought that I had finished making Christmas cards...and was a little sad about that. Well, when my sister wondered about a handcrafted card for her friend...yeah, I jumped at the chance :o) My sister's friend "L" collects vintage aprons so I thought she might like a vintage style card.
I'm playing along in 3 challenges with this card.
Card Patterns Sketch 145
CASE Study Challenge #69
Flourishes - Feminine Flair Challenge FLLLCDED11
This is the first time I've played along at Flourishes. I had no idea what I've been missing! That graphic with the lace, pearls and ribbon really called out to me.
I loved the sketch at Card Patterns. As you can see, I turned it on it's side for my card. Hopefully they won't mind!
At CASE Study, what struck me was the beautiful layering.
Anyway...this is how I combined all 3 challenges ~
I used 2 edge punches, 2 patterned papers 2 die-cuts, a few stamps, some stitching and some "frill" here and there. Of course, it took longer than I expected (I say that a lot, don't I?), but I love the results. I just hope that "L" likes it!
Thank you for popping in!
