CR84FN 40

Evening all, as Dixon of Dock Green would say! Oh dear, showing my age lol!

Today I've spent a bit of time tinkering about with my crafty stuff, in between ironing etc, and made a card for the CR84FN challenge which wants Brown, Kraft and Red.



And here's my take:




I've use a white card base from Craftwork Cards, and distressed it with Old Paper and Frayed Burlap Distress Ink.

Then I created a panel of kraft card, and stamped a pattern fromWaltzingmouse Stamps Picnic Patterns in Barn Door Distress ink. I then stitched around the edge in some gold thread, but, due to the coarseness of the thread, it kept shredding. So, my lesson of the day is - Do not use gold thread in your sewing machine lol!

Then stamped the focal image, from Hero Arts, in Vintage Sepia Ink, and stitched onto some patterned paper from October Afternoon.



The little sentiment label is Papertrey Ink, stamped in the gorgeous Barn Door distress ink.



I adhered a selection of flowers on one side, some from Prima, and some from Hobbyhouse, and a little kraft coloured bow in twine from stash.

The crochet ribbon is from The Ribbon Reel, and the little red pearls added to the decorative edge are from Kanban.



Inside, I added some more paper from October Afternoon, and a label using WMS Picnic patterns and Papertrey Ink.
