Before I post my card – I need to brag on my uber-talented sister Nina. She’s been taking the Friday Mashup – another carding challenge and she is a “Rockstar” for Challenge # 21 I have a lot to aspire to with her winning all sorts of awards.
So now that I’ve finished glowing over my sister, here’s my latest work.
Today’s 365 card - Day 186 – Pick Your Pattern
We were instructed to: create a pattern somewhere on your card using embellishments.
Here’s what I came up with:
A very basic card. I designed the cut out polka dot flourish myself and had my Silhouette do my wishes by cutting it out for me. I should have asked it to “double cut” because I had to manually pick out several holes that did not want to give up the circles. I chose a blue cardstock so that it would show through the punched flourish.
I bought the ribbon today at the thrift store, pretty white with scalloped edge and sheer center. Paid an entire 25 cents for the roll. I used a Fiskars stamp for the sentiment.
Thanks for visiting!
