Helen has asked that we take inspiration from the photo - use kraft, white, blue or aqua with a touch of red & use natural twine/twill.
I have made a card that could be used for a number of occasions - birthday, a new job, a gap year leaver, or just a Hello friend!
I've used a stamp set from Pink Paislee called Nantucket, and stamped the background using the text, shell and starfish stamps in Frayed Burlap and Weathered Wood Distress Inks. I then distressed around the edges in Stormy sky D.I, and stitched this onto a kraft panel also distressed with inks, with some aqua thread.
I then stamped the red Waltzingmouse label in Ladybug Red onto some more kraft, and cut using Nestabilities labels 10.
I added the sentiment stamped in Stormy Sky, and layered this ontop of the stitched panel, after wrapping some aqua sheer ruffled ribbon and some red Baker's twine, from The Ribbon Reel shop.
I then added two little bows in some natural button twine, and topped them off with some aqua cherry blossoms topped with stickles and crinkled seam binding, all from The Ribbon reel shop.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
