Hi Hi! I had a big Stampin' Up! order arrive on Tuesday, but I haven't had much of a chance to get inky... This evening, while there has been nothing on tv, I went into the craft room to have a bit of fun... This card was just screaming to be made, it's been in my head a while, so it came together really quickly!
This is a pretty simple card, I stopped into the newsagents today, and picked up some luggage tags for this purpose :) I used a Crumbcake (Kraft) base, sponged lightly around the edges. I embossed a piece of Real Red using the Big Shot, and a non Stampin' Up! embossing folder, I layered a piece of Chocolate Chip card on top, leaving a gap in the middle of the tape. I wrapped some button twine around, and attached a button. The tag has been stamped with the 'splash' from Extreme Elements (one of my newest acquisitions) and the heart was stamped in Real Red on a scrap of card. I stamped the sentiment from Basic Phrases in the corner, using my Stamp-a-majig to line it up perfectly, a little bit of Real Red ribbon was threaded through and stapled to hold it in place. Here is another shot of the card, showing the tag out
I am entering this into three challenges, the first is Freshly Made Sketches, which has another great sketch (see below), the second challenge is The Lollipop Ladies Red Frogs challenge, and to use movement... which I have done with the removable tag and the colour inspiration. The final challenge I'm entering this into is the CAS-ual Fridays ribbon loops challenge.
Thanks for dropping round :)
Happy Stamping!
