Happy World Card Making Day crafters! The card I made for you today was born from some of my very favorites, including color, paper and embellishments and a sketch from CardMaps 4!
Supplies Used: Bazzill Cardstock, Patterned Paper Jillibean Soup, Kraft Envelope Jiillibean Soup, Tag Jillibean Soup, Die Cut Jillibean Soup, Sticker Tab Jillibean Soup, Wood Stars Studio Calico, Blue Clear Stars Studio Calico, Hemp Twine, Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher, and Spellbinders Scallop Die
My current go to favorite embellishment is the mini clothes pin. I just love the idea of clipping just about anything to twine! One of my "go to" color combinations is red, grey and teal. This card is a variation on this idea; I chose to work with a more traditional blue rather than a teal. Patterned papers come in all shapes and sizes and I'm personally drawn to more subtle patterns as they don’t distract from the focus of your project! Happy cardmaking on this special day!
