Hi, it's me again, I'm back with the Christmas Surprise challenge at Midweek Magnolias. I was going to just have a tag tucked away on my card, I know it's not very inventive but after the week I've had with poorly kids it was as exciting as I could muster. But, for a bit of inspiration I checked to see what the other girls had come up with, after I saw the amazing projects the other extremely talented ladies had come up with I had to up my game. I was bloghopping the other day and I saw a card by Dena and I really liked the look of, so this is what I have.
At first glance it looks like a criss cross card, I've even tucked a tag in there to continue the pretence, but it is actually a Triangle Joy Fold card.
The papers are from the It's Christmas Time 6 x 6 Paper Pad from Maja Design. The edges have been distressed and then machine sewn using top stitch thread.
The tag has some 8mm Cream Vintage Style Fine Scallop Lace and Autumn Leaves Shabby Seam Binding.. There is also some 25mm Cream Fine Cluney Lace and along the bottom there is some of the gorgeous Ivory Rose Pearl Organza. The roses are from WOC and there's also a few cream chrysanths.
I'm entering this into the 'Celebrate Christmas' at Tilda's Town and ''Tis The Season' at Simply Magnolia.

ReplyDeleteWell what was I saying in my last comment? Nice with a non-Christmas card for a change, silly me, you've made plenty of those lately, but not in pink! :-) This is different (Sandy-make a mental note to yourself now), might have to try this out sometime. Love the vintage green on her dress - goes perfectly with the paper!
