Hello friends, welcome and thanks so much for stopping by. Today I am sharing a slightly shabby (but not too shabby wink:wink!) card with a patchwork background, created using leftovers from some kits I am putting together for an up coming Workshop - they were just too pretty to go into the bin - and of course they are Graphic 45 - what is not to love?!
I have created the patchwork background using leftover pieces of patterned paper - you know those ones that you don't want to part with - I have so many of them...the patterned paper has been cut into squares and layered onto recycled cardboard using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L Adhesive Sheets 4"x 6", next it has been cut/embossed using the largest two dies from Spellbinders Nestabilities Hemstitch Rectangles Etched Dies Venise Lace by Becca Feeken and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine. Next it has been adhered to a slightly larger pre-cut white card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra.
A row of scalloped lace has been glued to the lower portion of the card front. Embellishments from Graphic 45 have been adhered to the card front using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra, along with the banner at the top of the card front.
A double seam binding bow has been glued to the left of the sentiment tag and a Little Birdie Crafts Beaded Bloom glued to the knot of the bow. Want2Scrap Baby Bling - Turquoise Rhinestones have been added along the banner, and 250 White Pearls have been added along the lower edge of the card front.

ReplyDeleteHi, Linda! You have submitted some really fabulous projects to our challenge this month but I think this one has to be my favorite (it is so difficult to choose). The integration of the papers and those wonderful colors is dead on point. The layers are so interesting and so seamlessly executed! Thanks so much for sharing with us at A Place to Start!

ooooo gotta love a creation using G45 and what a perfect way to use those spare bits. So effective, the layering and texture create an eye-catching make. Thank you so much for joining in the challenge at 'A Place to Start' and good luck. Tina Chianna DT
