I'm playing along with CASE Study - Challenge #78. Karola Witczak is the February muse. This is her gorgeous inspiration card ~
What really drew me in were the scallops and twine, but I also love her use of pink and yellow together.
This is my interpretation ~
As soon as I saw Karola's card, I knew that I wanted to use this lattice rectangle die from Spellbinders. I love the scallop edge and the open airy look of it all. I did some fussy cutting for the flowers - layering on an additional layer to each with dimensional adhesive. Fussy cutting is so calming for me; I don't know why???
I did a little sponging on the tag before removing it from the die. Yeah...another favorite technique :)
I did some stitching with my sewing machine on the yellow panel. Then, I tied some linen thread around the front of the card to attach the tag. I finished off with some dots from a clear stardust glitter pen.
All in all, a fun card to make!
I hope you're having a great weekend. It's been bright and sunny here. The daffodils are poking up through the soil already. Way to early for northern Illinois. But we've had a mild winter (so far), so our plants are a little confused!
Thanks for popping in!
P.S. I'll be adding this card to my Etsy shop soon.
