I'm deeelighted to be joining the Card Patterns DT, I really am honored to be asked! So here's my first card as DT member and here's the fab sketch. This week we're sponsored by DRS Designs.
Each design team member received some some rubber stamps to use on their creations this week. I used this pretty motif stamp and repeat stamped it along the right side of my card and embossed in white. I punched four holes in the centers and in between the motifs and threaded some off white seam binding between the holes.
I made a paper frill/ruffle for the bottom of the card, here's the link to an earlier post with tutorial on how to make the paper frill. The yellow paper is Sweetness from Pink Paislee and the pink paper is Lost and Found Madison Avenue by My Mind's Eye.
The sentiment is from Fancy Sticker Sentiment - Thanks by SRM Stickers. I really love the fancy sticker range, I really hope they do more of these!
The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the light cream glass pearl trinket pin is from my own little Etsy shop. I do hope you'll pop by Card Patterns this week and see what the brand new design team made with the sketch and play along with us if you have time! There's a great prize up for grabs and a chance to be our guest designer! Thanks for dropping by! : )
I love what you did with the heat embossed stamps and ribbon!!! Beatiful colours too.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new design team! I love this beautiful card you've designed and the way you've "woven" the ribbon through the stamped images along the side of the card :-) Lovin your little "skirts" (I know that's not what you called them, but it's what I think of)
