I am sharing a card with lots of fun details!!

Here is what you will need.

May Arts Ribbon used:

1 inch Eyelet Trim Ribbon, 18 inches

¼ inch Silk-Antique Gold, 12 inches

Green Leaves, 6 inches

Other Supplies used:

Stampendous clear stamps Friendly Phrases

Stampendous cling rubber stamps Angel Aviary

Stampendous embossing powder Summer Shine

Circle and scalloped circle dies

Patterned paper

Prima flowers

Tiny glue dots

Perfect pearls

Distress Markers

For the background with eyelet layers I started by cutting a circle out of my patterned paper.

I used the cutout as a base.

Then adhered my layers of eyelet to it.

I adhered the circle to the card base after trimming a bit.

I like how you can see the color of the patterned paper through the eyelet.

Of course I had to have layers…

This ended up being my mom’s card, her birthday was last week!!

You are off to Rebecca VanDeMark now...Oh and make sure you head over to Stampendous and leave lots of love over there too!!

Until next time…wrap yourself in ribbon!

OK, here they are...

The first one is a shaker with my favorite chevron twill in 2 widths.  1/4 inch twill with chevron stripes and 5/8 inch twill with chevron stripe.

The ribbons are layered for a bit of texture.

I also used Bazzill and Echo Park paper, Pretty Pink Posh sequins and a Viva Las VegaStamps! sentiment.

My second card is a fun layered little number using 1.5 inch pink adhesive heart ribbon and 1.5 inch gold adhesive heart ribbon.

I cut a few hearts apart and stuck them right on the paper.

I also used Bazzill, American Crafts and Echo Park paper and a Heidi Swapp die.

she was a dreamer

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I am starting off 2016 with a bunch of creating, keep an eye out cuz you will be seeing it very soon.
My first card for this year is for the Viva Las VegaStamps! challenge for January.

I was inspired by women, exploration, neutral, maps, vintage, writing, script, yellows.

I used Map of the World, Map of Arctic, Waybill/Invoice Background, Fed-up Vintage Lady and She Was a Dreamer.
I also used Distress Spray, Markers, Ink and Archival Ink.

I used coffe to create a vinatge feel and sewed the top layer on the sewing machine.

The lady is water colored.

There is PLENTY of time to get linked up, I hope to see what you create!!

Get inky!!
