Burlap Bloom

Photo Details

Poster: sillyfilly

This is for the Mixed Media challenge. We were to use black and white with 3 shades of red. First I made this beautiful glimmer spray using Real Red re-inker but I could not get it to look red, it looked pink. So I then took RR re-inker and sponged it on a template (like a honey comb) on top of newsprint paper from SU. I made a red burlap flower and sewed a copper button in the center (sort of) with b&w twine. Cut some leaves with a MB die. New to me. Stamped the sentiment in Archival Black ink. I love that ink. Its is very black and gives great coverage. Thats the only black I use for sentiments anymore. I also ran my leaves through the swiss dot ef. Also my sewing is red metallic thread.

Sylvia, a wonderful card for the challenge. Your burlap flower is terrific.....and wonderful use of the various reds....including machine stitching.

Burlap is so hot right now, and on trend. I thought I was with it to even have any... and here you've gone red with yours! Great card with a lot of texture. I love my Archiver's pad too!

Wow, Sylvia, you really poured on the textures with this beauty!! LOVE that red burlap flower and button center, the embossing of your leaves gives so much...oomph! to the leaves and I LOVE that you stitched the outside edges with metallic thread - great sentiment to live by too!! HUGS!
