Day 186–365 Cards

 

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:

Day-186-full

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.

 

Day-186-close

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!
