I have two cards for your inspiration today.

Card One - Humblest Tasks
IO Stamps/Die Links:

How I made it:
  • I used the centers of two frame dies.  On the ivory panel, I stamped the Pin Cushion and the Humblest Tasks verse with archival brown ink.

  •  
  • I also stamped the Pin Cushion onto a piece of floral patterned paper.
  • I fussy-cut the patterned paper one, and attached it over the stamped image on the ivory panel, then attached that to the pink panel.  I added some shading with a graphite pencil.
  • I layered this onto some more of the patterned paper, then onto an ivory A2 card front.
  • I used the Buttons die to cut some buttons, added some embroidery floss for 'thread,' and attached them to the card front.
  • I created a bow and attached that to finish the front.
  • INSIDE:  A panel of pp,a panel of ivory cs, and a stamped, fussy-cut image of the pin cushion finish off the inside.

    Card Two - Faith Camelia
     
    IO Stamps Links:
     
    How I made it: 
    • I white embossed the Camelia image onto watercolor paper.
    • I watercolored the flowers with Gansai Tambi watercolors, and used a rectangle die to cut out the panel.
    • I added the flower watercolor panel to a black A2 card front.
    • I white embossed the Faith verse, and fussy cut it, then added it to the card front with foam tape for dimension. 
     
    I hope you like my Day One cards.  I will be back with two more cards tomorrow for Day Two.

  3. I think your pincushion card is one of my top three for for the hop, if not the top. It SO captures a sense of fabric and craft...the graphic pencil really bumped it.. love this card. And that sentiment is like icing on the cake. Perfect.

    Your WC card is very pretty. I like richness of the color.

  10. I love your cards, I thought I commented already, but guess it didn't post. Thank you for sharing your inspiration! Always forget about the using the DSP to use instead of coloring an image.
