Ok, I think I figured it out. I am not a day stamper obviously. My mojo starts flowing about 2pm. Trust me, I looked for things around the house like the cans, magazines, and etc. It wasn't until I walked by my laundry room and saw a pair of my son's jeans that had big holes in them. Sometimes, I think I try to hard.
Sorry for the blur, I had to adjust my camera from the other night.
Here is my story:
The challenge today for Ways To Use It, was we were suppose to use anything that is frugal and not having to buy things to make our card. Well, after seeing my son's jeans, I started to cut out the pockets. I had to sew more inside twice around in order for it to fit on this card. Cut to size and then sew on the lines. Sponged with brown ink. I changed threads to brown too. I then used the lace border punch and used the cb mini button emboss folder on it. I attached it to the top of the jeans with Tombo Mono glue and also stitched the seam. I added rhinestone brad flowers to the edges using the piercing tool. I stamped the sentiment from Pocket Fun, trimmed to size, and sponged around the edges with pink ink. Attached. I stamped the girls onto cream c/s because I wanted them to match the lace on the pocket with black ink. I colored them using prismacolor pencils. I cut them out with scissors and used my kraft knife for the tiny areas. I didn't want alot of cream showing. I added chalk to their cheeks. I used 2-way glue for the hair tie, bracelet, heart, flower, and added sprinkles of glitter to them. They are held on with foam tape. I ran the pink b/g c/s using the cb paisley emboss folder, added rhinestones to the corners, and attached to the base of the card. I really had fun making this card once I got started. The card actually didn't take me long at all, but the idea did. Thank you for the fun challenge. Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!
What do you think? It does look better in person though.
