I always love World Cardmaking Day. I'm often on vacation exploring brick and mortar stores around the country, but this year I'm home alone in my studio connecting virtually with cardmakers around the country.
This is Vanessa the owner (click here for sale code & terms) of one of my favorite stores, Butterfly Reflections Ink. She took this picture of herself this morning as she ran to get more mailers to send out all of the orders from her 20% off sale that she extended through today. She asked us to make a card inspired by this photo and tag with #BRIWCMD2020 for a chance to win a $20 voucher to her store (my order is already on its way).
I knew I wanted to start with Black & White stripes, and since the first striped stamp I found in my stash was My Favorite Things Writing Tablet Background, I chose their Wednesday Sketch Challenge as my layout. After I stamped the stripes, I added some fuchsia floral paper inspired by her shirt & mask.
I thought the sentiment from My Favorite Things Sassy Pants Best Friends (which you can get at Vanessa's store) was perfect for today. I finished my layout with random stickers and flowers from my stash (love the texture of the crocheted one inspired by her mask) and a scrap of paper from my #gellinktober print this morning.
Hope you're getting to have some cardmaking fun (and shopping) this weekend.
