After much play I finally came up with the pictured project. It is CASE’d from the Stampin’ Up! 2014-2015
Annual Catalog (page 67). I have
loved this card from the first time I saw the catalog. So, I played around with different colors and
‘textures’. I chose to use the Zag Zig
embossing folder for added ‘texture’ without making an embossed impression in
the cardstock, instead of the background stamp used in the example. I used Washi Tape instead of lace at the top
of the panel and a button in the center of the middle flower. The bows were made from the Thick Baker’s
Twine. This twine can be separated into
several thicknesses. The first level of
separation is a thinner twisted strand of thread and the final level is a very
thin wavy strand. I took two of these
very thin wavy strands and threaded the button and tied a small bow on top. The larger bow was made with four of the thin
wavy strands. I dipped the edges of the
layers in Baked Brown Sugar ink pad to make them pop off the background.
Here are the details (all products Stampin’ Up! unless otherwise
