This card is made based off of Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge. I know I am a little late, but at least I did do one this time! I'm going to try to start to do them every weekend, but with the holidays approaching, that may be a bit too much of a commitment! I liked the layout a lot with the double scalloped edge. Instead of the circle, I used a large button. The pattern paper is a special handmade paper I purchased at Oblation in Portland this summer. The paper store was similar to Paper-Source, but more of a 'mom and pop.'
To create this card:
- Make card base (using vanilla cardstock) by cutting cardstock to 4.25" x 11", then score at 5.5".
- Cut brown cardstock to 4.25" x 5.5" (to use as the card base so stitching will not show through card or you can trim your card in brown cardstock and allow stitching to show).
- Trim berry sorbet cardstock to approx. 3.5" x 4.5".
- Using the scallop edge punch, scallop both 3.5" edges.
- Trim pattern paper to approx. 3.5" x 4.5" and adhere to the center of the berry sorbet cardstock.
- With a leftover scrap of berry sorbet, adhere a strip to the center.
- Stamp a sentiment on the berry sorbet cardstock.
- Thread button with twine and adhere to berry sorbet strip
- Add rhinestones to the center of the flowers on pattern paper.
- Using a sewing machine, stitch around the edges of the brown cardstock.
- Pop the scalloped edge focal point off of the brown cardstock.
- Adhere brown cardstock to vanilla card base.
