Tonight is a Cabaret Themed Virtual Stamping night at SCS. Since most of my creative time is just me alone in my studio, it's always fun to stamp with my virtual friends around the world. This card is for the Makeshift Costume challenge to pull a card together using only scraps of leftover paper. These Cosmo Cricket Get Happy papers were on my table left over from my Domo Arigato card last week, so I decided to see what I could do. I decided to use Lisette's bonus sketch at 2 Sketches 4 You for my layout.
The finished card is 3 1/2" square. I used three different pieces of designer paper. When I make cards entirely of patterned papers, I've found that rub-ons give a greater contrast than stamping, so I used one from my stash (source unknown). I finished with some coordinating rick-rack. Normally I would trim the frayed edges, but I really like how they look with these fun papers.
Thanks ladies for the inspiration.
I love your card for the bonus sketch, the colors are really pretty. Thank you for visiting my blog.
