Hello everyone! How did your week turn out? We had a great week - it was busy but that made it go by so much faster. :) Would you believe that I started this card on Tuesday but didn't have time (or the inspiration) to finish it until today? Yep, it's true. :)
When I first saw this week's TCP Tuesday challenge (my favorite kind of challenge - a color challenge) I thought it screamed "BOY" but as I went through my stamps, I just wasn't *feeling* it. I tried a couple of ideas before arriving at this one - don't you hate it when that happens? In fact, it wasn't until today, after a trip to my LSS, that I figured out what to do. My inspiration? These AWESOME canvas flag tags from Maya Road I picked up... I should have bought more because I can see me using these a LOT!
I saw Jen's Sketch For You To Try the day it came out and realized it was perfect for this card ... AFTER I started using a different sketch! Thanks for a great sketch, Jen! I made my card a square instead of the rectangle...
Stamps: Catch My Drift (TCP) Ink: Basic Gray Paper: Basic Gray, Whisper White, SU! DSP, unknown DSP, Bashful Blue Accessories: Canvas flags (Maya Road), Oyster twine (TCP), Home Tweet Home die (TCP), circle Nesties, paper piercer, dimensionals
I am also going to submit this one for Verve's Get Your Diva On challenge - it's to use fabric somewhere on your card and I *think* the canvas tag qualifies??? :) Thanks for stopping by - enjoy your weekend!
