Stripes and/or Dots at the Sisterhood

 

 Hello my friends!

Today I have a card for the new challenge over on The Sisterhood of Crafters!

 

Our theme today is:

 

Stripes and/or Dots

 

 

The Echo Park 6x6 paper pack of 'Stripes & Dots' worked perfectly for today's theme!  
By making my sentiment square first and placing it in the center of my card, then adding the 3/8" white stripes in  this manner, I created a basic 'fractured card' design the altered it a bit to showcase the various dots/stripes from this set.  A few black Nuvo crystal drops and my card is complete.  Hope you like it!

Neglected Stuff

 Hello friends!

Today I have a project to share that was created for our newest
NEGLECTED STUFF CHALLENGE. 

Click on the link then come join in the fun!

 

 

 Card #1

I started this card by using an old scrap of designer paper (no clue what paper pack it's from ... was in the scrap bin) the using a scrap of white card stock cut to size, I embossed using an older Sizzix embossing folder.   Next I created my iris stems in the center of the oval and lastly added some Nuvo crystal drops.

The 'neglected stuff' I've used today is a VERY OLD pack of Sticko Iris Vellum Stickers and created two cards.   I believe I bought this sheet of stickers years ago at either Hobby Lobby or Archiver's.

 

 

 

Card #2

The stickers you see on these two cards are what was left on the sheet of stickers.  I  had obviously used some of the stickers on either a card or scrapbook page years ago and these were what was left.  So, for my 2nd card I used the last 2 iris blooms and some of the greenery that was left and created this focus panel.   I had a long and a short scrap of this purple card stock in my colored scraps pile of which I had intended to 'partially' mat my focus panel then created a punched border for the bottom.  

 

WELL ... without thinking, I cut my second panel for a vertical card vs horizontal card and it was too short for what I had in mind to do.  SO ... shifting gears ... I came up with this design.  SIMPLE but EFFECTIVE I think!
