Supplies: Paper - Neenah Solar White;
Sunny Studio Flirty Flowers; scrap of kraft
Dies - Hero Arts Shoes and Hat Fancy Die (sold out);
Frantic Stamper Slimline Frames
Other - sentiment sticker from Tim Holtz;
flowers & leafy vines from my bits box
We had the following options when creating our cards:
Color Palette Option
Sketch Option
Theme Options: Hats / Rabbit / Friendship
Product / Technique Options: Fabric / Vintage
I went with the sketch and the themes of hats & friendship. First I formed a mini slimline card. Trimmed a floral mat layer & added to the card. Die cut a scalloped slimline frame and trimmed off the left and right edges to form two pieces. Added them to the mat layer, along with a narrow piece that cuts with it. Next I die cut the hat & bow & adhered to the card along with the sentiment label. I felt like it needed something else & my eyes lit upon the pink vines and bitty white flowers (not sure which brand) sitting on my craft tray. Onto the card they went & I felt like they added the perfect touch. Some pink gems to the flower centers finished the card.

This is a lovely spring slimline, Linda!
ReplyDeleteI love that floppy hat, well, to me, I can see it being worn in the summer and part of it flopping down to shade a face. So wonderful. Arlene
ReplyDeleteStylish hat!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great card, and I like the one you got from Barbara!
That's a great take on the sketch. I love that you used the hat. Did anyone else I wonder - I will go and check. Your hat reminds me of a brooch that I have, which is that shape and covered in sparkly stones xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to play the challenge themes! I nearly went with a hat stamp but then I found my bunny and magician's hat set instead. Looks brilliant as always. Thanks for being a lovely link in the CCC chain again, hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeletePerfect combo of all the challenge themes Linda. So beautifully done.
