CR84FN #9, Lucy's Cards Day 1

Hi all, hope that the New Year has started off well for you? Well, I have a card today based on the newly designed CR84FN blog by Mona Pendleton and Lucy Abrams sketch at Lucy's Cards from Day 1 - she is hosting a different sketch every day, so I'm going to give them all a go! I am a bit behind, as we were away at our in-laws for New Year, and just got back today, so back to normality of a sort.


Here are the two inspiration sketch/photos:




And here is my take:



I have used a kraft card base, and wrapped 4 lots of yummy pink bakers twine from The Ribbon Girl then tied 4 little bows on each wrap.


Then attached 2 yellow and 2 peach buttons to the bows, and added some pink gems and some peach pearls to the centre of the buttons.


The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps Fancy Phrases, and the little frame is also by Waltzingmouse Stamps Afternoon Tea stamp set, stamped in clear Versamark and embossed with black powder.


Underneath the little tag I have gold embossed two scrolls also from WMS Fancy Phrases.

The panel is layered onto some peachy paper from Papermania (Regency paper stack I think) and mounted onto ivory linen cardstock. Finally, added some peach pearls to the sentiment.

Apologies for the poor lighting in my pictures, I am still trying to get to grips with hubby's camera, and the light here has been so dull today!

Thanks for stopping by
