Hi everyone!! A few nights ago I was blog hopping and saw a lot of number of cards using this color combination, I thought it was gorgeous!! So I finally clicked on one of the links to Embellish Magazine, the challenge is to use Kraft, Brown and Purple along with stripes! This morning I came across this layout on Susan's blog and knew I had to combine the two!! Isn't it a great layout?! For my stripes I used my paper piercer and then hand stitched using DMC floss and blending filament. The blending filament has sparkle which I don't think you can see on the photo. I wanted to use that to roll with the glitter I used for the nest!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!!
Supplies:
Stamps: Papertrey Birds of a Feather
Paper: Papertrey Kraft & Dark Chocolate
Ink: Papertrey Plum Pudding
Tools/Accessories: Labels 7 Nestabilities, Glue Pad, Doodlebug Sugar Coating Bon Bon Glitter, Plum Pudding Twill, DMC 838, Kreinik Metallics Blending Filament 022. Paper Piercer, Fiskars Apron Lace Punch
I've been seeing the color combo a lot, too, and I must say I'm really digging it. I love the embroidery floss stripes - very creative idea. It's a beautiful card.
