This card has taken me AGES today, but it is FINALLY finished! And after agonising over it and hating it for a while... I've actually grown to quite like it!
I absolutely LOVE the digi-stamp from Stretch N' Bubbles' "Zen" collection, especially with my love of Japan!
Here it is:
I used a sketch from a magazine I bought, and I was determined to use this image - that was the difficult part, because I'd printed it a little larger than what would be ideal for a card of this size.
But still, I think with the faux-stitching and use of Kraft cardstock in a couple of places, it's helped tie all the colours together.
I made it for my boss who has just had a baby - hope she likes it!
SUPPLIES:
- 'A Blessing' digi-stamp from 'Stretch n' Bubbles'
- White linen cardstock from the Papermill
- Kraft cardstock (Bazzil)
- Some red ribbon I've had lying around for absolutely ages
- Some turquoise cardstock that I got in a pack from Costco - sorry not sure what it's called
- Copices
- Nestabilities dies
- A random button I got on eBay
- Sentiment from Hero Arts
- And the flowers are some that I cut from some K&Co paper, and then curled up the petals!
I would like to enter this into:

THis is really sweet, tasha! I can see you put alot of time and attention to detail in this. I love your faux stitching, very tidy.
ReplyDeleteI love the faux stitching too - especially like the way the button is mounted on a punched circle with faux stitching. I don't think the image is too big at all - it's perfect!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet! I love the layout and faux stitching detail.
