Hello!
I think I never used so many patterned papers in a single card as I did in this one. Can you believe that I used four different 6”x6” pads and some more patterned papers? Oh yeah, that’s true! And just one stamp for the sentiment. I don’t usually use many pattern papers, but I’ve always had a crush for them, since we got acquainted over the internet :)… maybe because they were almost impossible to find in my country not that long ago. The only ones we could find 4 or 5 years ago were big sheets of cardstock (EU size A1) sold “door to door” to schools, no patterned papers in craft stores… now we can find some old collections from USA brands and others made in EU, but still limited. Besides, I developed another crush more recently - Project Life cards! I don’t use them for their purpose, but I crazy love the variety and beauty of those little cards… to make my life miserable there are some brands that make them impossible to resist :). I used one in my card. Do you see the striped panel with a red heart and the word everyday? That’s it!
The conversation is long and one of these days I’ll be “fired” from Flickr for placing more words than pictures… so I’ll be brief describing the making of the card.
1- White card base with distressed edges in yellow.
2- Lots of patterned papers including one of those A1 sheets of cardstock, now also sold in stores - the white and blue Vichy squares.
3- The little birds are paper pieced from a 6”x6” DP and from plain cardstock. Both birds and red heart are coated with clear WS.
4- The word “love” is die cut from alpha dies and covered with GA.
I’m adding this card to RIC#57 - runwayinspired.blogspot.pt/2014/04/ric57-markus-lupfer.html - and to CFC130 - cas-ualfridays.blogspot.pt/2014/03/cfc130.html.
Supplies:
Stamps: SSS - Watt’s Up?
Dies: WPlus9 - Clearcut Stackers-Pinking Sqaures; Memory Box - Parker Lower Alphabet Set; CBS - You Said It.
Coloring: VersaFine - onyx black; clear EP; HA Shadow Inks - butter bar.
Others: White and colored cardstock; Basic Grey - Persimmon 6"x 6" paper pad; Amy Tangerine "Cut & Paste" Collection 6”x6” paper pad; Amy Tangerine "Sketchbook" 6”x6” paper pad; Simple Stories "DIY" 6”x6” paper pad; Simple Stories "SN@P Everyday" 3”x4” cards; ZIG - clear wink of stella; GA.
Thank you for stopping by.
