The little flourish is from the My Favorite Things Own Your Story set and the sentiment is from My Favorite Things January Triple Scoop set. I stamped the flourish using Close to My Heart's Barn Red and the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black. I wasn't going to use a banner on my card, but I just had to use the banner in my new Stampin Up!/Sizzix Framelits Hearts A Flutter dies. I cut the banner from corrigated paper and then swiped on some white ink. A strip of natural muslin was pleated and then adhered to the banner. A button/twine embellishment was then added and the banner adhered. I distressed the edges of the cardstock piece and curled two corners before adhering the piece to the card base. Like I said... it is kinda funky... but I like it!Thanks for stopping by and if you made it to the bottom of my post I have a little request to make of you. I have been competing in a card contest taking place at the Practical Scappers blog. This is the first time I have entered a contest like this and the first time I have made it as far as I have. I would love to make it to the top 10... oh heck who am I kidding??? I would love to win! But in order to make it to the top 10 I need your vote. So.. if you are interested in voting, please go here. Thanks!!
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI kraft; Stamps: My Favorite Things; Inks: Close to My Heart & Memento; Dies: Stampin Up!; corrigated paper: The Funkie Junkie; Muslin: Montana Misfits; Button: PTI; Twine: Montana Misfits

ReplyDeleteFirst I must congratulate you on reaching the last 16 at Practical Scrappers, the Challenge/Contest is a difficult one... Masculine card; how boorish.
I hopped across, and my goodness you have some competition my girl, I didn't realise Man cards could look so amazing. I loved yours, so of course I voted for you, good luck.
Love this one on your beloved Kraft too.

ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful shaggy card with the gorgeous textures! (I've voted for your Rosemary - wishing you all the luck!)
ReplyDeleteA great card - I can never manage shabby chic, it always looks shabby but no chic!
ReplyDeleteI've placed my vote for you.
