. . . is the theme for the current challenge at Frilly & Funkie!
Hello Everyone!
Today I'm taking off my design team hat and doing a little card making/challenge playing for ME!
A good friend of mine from Illinois (waving Hi to Bette) suggested I play along in this challenge (does she know my style favorites or what! lol) so I got busy and this is what I came up with . . .
OMGosh I had so much fun putting this card together!
I've used some items I've rarely or NEVER used before and LOVE the outcome!
I've just recently gotten hooked on using STENCILS ... what a fun way to create your own background or coordinating accent as I have done here with the new Memory Box 'Modern Dressmaker' Style #88562 stencil!
See the buttons? I haven't used button's on my cards in years ... makes them difficult to mail so I shy away from them ... but they were absolutely NECESSARY on this card! LOL!
My ribbon spool, tape measure & sewing machine tag are from the Crafty Secrets Digital Sewing Papers file. The narrow black satin ribbon I wrapped around the spool came from a holiday blouse I bought for our last years Christmas party ... you know, those pieces they add inside your blouse to help it from falling off the hanger!
How about my background paper ... do you see what it is? It entire sheet is corrugated on one side and flat on the other. It comes from a 6x6 DCWV corrugated paper pack that comes in muted colors ... I thought this shade was perfect for today's creation. Though hard to see, the black border is actually self adhesive LACE that I found on one of my trips to Joan's Gardens in Indiana.
Last but not least, my beautiful vintage focus image comes from the Graphic45 'Fashionista' Collection. A little edge distressing and TH vintage photo sponging was all this image needed to 'fit the bill' for today's runway creation!
