It's rolled around to another Saturday and I'm back with my sample for the Our Creative Corner. Our hostess this week is Sharon Wheet and she wants us to reflect Girl Power! on our projects this week. That's right - make it girly. This challenge requires the inclusion of three types of embellishments: 1) a handmade paper flower, 2) ribbon and 3) bling. Get going - the more girly you can make your project, the more we'll love it!
I started my card with Very Vanilla and Mauve Mist and added a distressed layer of Springtime Vintage DSP. The vintage newsprint came from a shopping bag that I upcycled. I added a cream colored vintage doily and a ribbon of ripped cotton fabric. The image is from Garden Collage - an old SU set - and I added a bit of color with SU markers. The blessings stamp is PTI and the glass glitter and pretty rose cabochons are from SU too.
Hope you will join in our Girl Power challenge this week at Our Creative Corner. Be sure to stop by to see what the rest of the team has to get your mojo started this Saturday morning!
I'm so glad you stopped by. Hope you have a great weekend!
NOTE: Just a quick update, a reader asked what I used to adhere the glass glitter. It was Stampin' Up Crystal Effects, which is pretty much the same as Ranger Glossy Accents. It works great. It's the same process as I used last week to adhere the glass glitter and the micro beads to the brads I used for the crinoline flower centers.

This is gorgeous, Linda - beautiful combination of images and embellishments. The glass glitter really sets off your image - I haven't done anything with that glitter yet but I should give it a try!

Just beautiful!! I love the "brown-ness" of this card! I have always been a big fan of brown and pink together.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I am always impressed by your cards. You manage to add so many details, without it looking cluttered or over-worked....truly a talent! Hope you have an amazing week :)

This card is absolutely stunning! Thanks for playing along with us at The Kraft Journal this week!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is a perfect pink!
ReplyDeleteI think ripped fabric makes a gorgeous ribbon - tried it once and really liked it, should use it again. Lush and shabby at the same time.
I don't know what you used for sticking that vintage glitter for bordering, that's another thing I've tried and the bleedin' card kept shedding thick glassy shards all over the place, ended up assigning it to the circular file, lol

PS. Thanks for tutorial suggestion - will put it onto the list! :)
oh Linda, this is gorgeous! isn't that SU! glass glitter so addicting?! my stars, I am in love with mine.... seem to be using it on EVERYTHING lately! :)
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I wanna know where you shop that you get a fabby bag like that to get such a wonderful bit for scrap! so smart of you to save it.

Fabulously shabby! I love how you used fabric as ribbon and seems you are still inspired by my challenge to reuse your packaging! :) beautiful.
