A few weeks ago I received an order from twopeas with TONS of 6x6 patterned paper pads. I've been working hard to use paper from them and even made a point of it by placing the packs right on my workspace...In My FACE, so to speak...Now I think I'll use them and not just keep them on my shelf!
So I decided to use this pretty paper collection from Sassafras Wee Bundle. It's got some BEAUTIFUL papers in it! I knew I wanted to use the strip of flowery paper and the cross stitch pattern but had no idea how I would incorporate them into a card. SO I spent over an hour twisting, rotating and arranging the paper on my yellow card base before finally deciding on a layout. The tag just happened to be on my desk from another project I was working on (I've got six of these tags made) and I thought it worked PERFECTLY for the sentiment (Salutations) on this card. Breaks up the horizontal "strippyness" of the card, I think. This card measures 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 so it's a bit skinnier than the average A2 card.
The tag was painted with layers of teal, opal and crackle paint then doodled with a white paint pen. Strung the buttons on some hot pink DMC floss and tied it on the front of the card.
