| Everyday Eclectic Card |
I've made two cards already from this collection. And I want more! I may have to order another pad as my favorite sheet, the hot air balloons, is half gone! It's just so very cute.
I've worked in quite a few trends into this one card front. Combining multiple trends into one card can be a bit overwhelming, but I seem to like this "eclectic" look that's inherent to the collection.
Washi tape? So wonderful. As if I needed more reasons to love washi tape, I've found that I love covering veneer shapes with washi tape as well as sewing down the middle of it! Sewing and washi tape - who knew?
I first adhered the card front to the base. I used a chevron washi tape to contrast all the bright colors - then sewed down the middle with a turquoise cotton.
I usually sew on the card front before adhering to the base, but I adhered it down first by mistake and couldn't reverse this. No worries, I just have some thread showing on the inside.
Then, I cut a doily using the Couture Creations die from bright pink layering cardstock. I recently got a pack of "Brights" layering weight cardstock and this is the first time I've used it. It's perfect for layering and other tasks where you need a thinner paper. Stickles and glossy accents adorn the centre dots of each scallop.
I used sentiment stickers from the Element sheet. Conveys a "thinking of you" message without outright staying thinking of you.
Washi tape and veneer shapes! I used washi tape to cover these veneer wood shapes from Studio Calico. They were securely adhered with Glossy Accents.
Shine on. A light spray of Studio Calico's Shine covers the entire card front and gives it an irresistable shimmer.
Special inside? The inside of the card was simply stamped with a sentiment from Hero Arts - "You Are Special To Me."
