Hey, I'm back with one more card for today's SC! My mojo is on "go" and I can't stop myself! Hee!
If any of you looked at my Lovely Day card, you will know that originally my focal point was to be a layered, burlap flower. That didn't happen d/t darn fraying. Anyway, I was fixated on burlap and determined to use it. Lo and behold, what to my wandering eyes do appear? A Moxie Fab blog post with the textured challenge winners and a link to one that had some netting stuff that looks like burlap on it! Yah-hoo! And ... it gives me an idea on how to possibly "contain" the fraying. Here's the link
Used Spellbinder circle dies to cut black "frame" and burlap circle. From Hob Lob kraft, cut Tim's Sizzix Alterations tattered leaf. Misted leaf then direct to paper (with ink pads), inked w/walnut stain, then rusty hinge, then orange marmalade. Love the colors. On a black Hob Lob card base, adhered Tim's grunge seasonal paper panel. Added a pc of recycled, torn paper packaging, edges inked w/rusty hinge. Tore another piece of paper, inked edges w/rusty hinge, stamped w/"Autumn" in same. (Stamp is SU but I don't know the name of it.) Adhered it w/All Night Media (ancient!) dimensionals. Adhered my frame and burlap w/Tombo glue and lastly glued on leaf.
TIP: When working w/burlap, minmize handling it. Do not touch it with gluey fingers! The glue will catch the fibers and distort or fray them.
THANKS for looking!
