In addition to the sketch- you have to make an embellishment using background stamps! This is something I do OFTEN so I was excited about this little twist!
Here's my card:
Oooohhhh.... very earthy. I started with Rustic Cream and Ripe Avacado cardstock. Ran the Ripe Avacado layer through the cuttlebug with my PTI Linen & Canvas Impression Plate- love the rustic look it added. I tied some embroidery floss around the card and added some rustic wooden buttons.
Then, I went background stamp crazy.... lol! I pulled out my Market Street Stamps Vintage Wallpaper stamp and Sweet Lace stamp. I stamped them with Walnut Stain Distress Ink on Rustic Cream cardstock and punched/die cut a bunch of pretty butterflies. The sentiment is from Market Street Stamps' Hippie Chic set.
While browsing the web, I came across this new challenge blog- CAS-ual Fridays and decided to enter it over there, too! So excited about this new challenge- they have an AMAZING team! The challenge this week was to use buttons and twine, check and check!
I hope you are all having a wonderful week! Talk to you soon!
