Hello, and welcome!
Wanted to say "sorry" for havin' a whine about my printer, the other day........but it's still not workin'!!!!
It's a flippin' good job I'd already put my DT card together for this week's challenge at
because I'd be feeling very sorry for myself, right now...hahaaa!
Our challenge for you this week, is to create with
FABRIC
We are talking fabric, sewing material, things our clothes are made of, not ribbon or lace (but of course they are welcome additions)!We are so happy to have Milk Coffee Stamps joining us again with sponsorship for you! The winner's prize purse is their choice of 3 Milk Coffee images of their choice! Yummy! And our super sponsor also provides each of our Top 3 with an image of their choice too! Yay!
I fell in love with this sweet wedding image and used hessian (burlap) and pearls......okay, I know hessian isn't used for clothes, but I used a little artistic licence for this one.....and hessian used to be used for soldiers uniforms, so there....hahaaaaa!
A lot of shadows on these pics....sorry.......changing things around in my craft area, and didn't have my usual space free.
The card base is cream and I folded back half of the front, so part of the inside is visible.....then put a strip of lemon glitter card down the inside right side.......
This is how it looks when open.......
I used soft colours for the sweet image, and added a little sparkle to the balloons and bouquet. The image is matted onto a piece of hessian and some dark brown card.....I love the texture of hessian!
I put another strip of the lemon glitter card on this side of the card, and layered with some gorgeous lace that already had tiny pearls sewn on.....then rolled some strips of hessian into flowers and added some pinky pearls and die cut brown leaves.........
Another piece of hessian to back the sweet sentiment, which was gifted to me by my teamie and friend, Jenee (thanks again, Jenee).
Maybe not your usual wedding card, but somebody has asked if they can buy it (flabbergasted describes me, right now!)...hahaaaaa!
So come on, get out those scraps of fabric and get creating....and don't forget to take a look at what my Design Team teamies have created for your perusal.....lots of inspiration, there!
hugs,
Anne-Marie x

Great card - I love the burlap, it adds so much texture! Thanks for playing along with Fab N Funky this week!
ReplyDeleteLove the use of the burlap on this card! Burlap and pearls -- how wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI like the way the hessian has extra texture to your card. It's nice to have something a bit different to give to the happy couple.
ReplyDeletep.s. Thanks for your comment, and no, nothing to do with travel!!
Hessian is SO fabric. I mean it's not paper, right? Lovely take on the challenge, O inspiring one! And well done on the sale! More money for craft supplies!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree that this is fabric/material! After all, aren't there jokes about dresses fitting like a feed sack?!
ReplyDeleteI also have to agree that your rustic little wedding card is wonderful! Love the texture and those pretty flowers!
