Funny how a challenge and the weather can get you to spring clean your house. I decided to empty our drawers and pleaded with my husband to get rid of a red sweatshirt that he's had before we were married (no worries-no sentimental value attached!) so I could hand cut it up into a heart. Then I found some 180 count white sheets in our laundry room that I bought shortly after I was married (we tried them once and believe me, I've never bought anything under 280 count now). So here's my second creation for Everything but the Kitchen Sink Challenge. The search for these two colors of course came from another challenge, the Color Cue, and I added the turquoise accents. The layout is from 2S4Y. However, I did have the idea of using a hanger before I started cleaning, and the elements all came together.
I've also noticed that I have a couple of trends in my cards now: I guess I keep doing them because I think they work, or I like it and think it's cool {overhanging elements, a peek of scallop edge, sewing...} I'd be curious to know, do you all have "trends" and do you think you need to get out of them or just work with it?
Supplies Used: Fabric (sweatshirt and sheet), SU Kraft and Tempting Turquoise Cardstock, SU Stamp Set, Colorbox Chalkd Ink in Chestnut Road, CM Circle Cutting System, Fiskars Scallop Border Punch, Mini Hanger, Thread
Really fantabulous! I'm so lovin' the fabric!

ReplyDeleteAnother great card! I love it! Thanks for playing with us in the EBTKS challenge! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so unique and fabulous! Love the story that goes with it to...I could just see you running around trying to find things to cut up...now that is true devotion and love for the craft! Ruts...hmm...I have noticed that if I use ribbon, it's in almost the same way on every card. And...I use ellipses [...] a lot when I type (and grammatically incorrect use at that). LOL
ReplyDeleteFab idea!! Love that hanger!! My trend is sewing lately too--don't think I'm giving it up any time soon either. I think we have to stick to our trends for as long as they keep us satisfied with what we've created. Also, I think our trends give us a signature style--that thing that makes others say, "Oh, that's so a Karen B card!" ya know?
ReplyDeleteAwesome and creative dear.
