DCM 'Thank You'

This week at Daring Cardmakers, it's Zuzana's turn to dare us.

She has challenged us to make a....

THANK YOU CARD

 ...with absolutely freedom of using colours, shapes, embellishments, techniques ... So Simple!

Here's my card....


I used papers from Cosmo Cricket's Tea for Two and added a band of natural crochet lace. The bunch of cherry blossoms look so cute in this little jar from WMS.

I stamped the jar in grey ink and lightly coloured the jar with blue ink to give an impression of water, although as my photo is so poor you can't really see this so I'll take a new daytime photo tomorrow. The sentiment is also from WMS.

Challenges:
The Shabby Tea Room #132 Pretty Party
Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #116

Supplies -
Card - Cosmo Cricket 'Two for Tea' from The Ribbon Reel
Flowers - Cherry Blossoms and Leaves from The Ribbon Reel
Lace - 12mm Natural Crochet Lace from The Ribbon Reel
Stamps - Jar Stamp from WMS
Sentiment - Thanks a Bunch sentiment from WMS

TFL!

TRR Challenge #37 Chevrons


Welcome friends to another fun fortnightly challenge at The Ribbon Reel!  It's my turn to host this week and I've chosen this fabulous inspiration photo .....


and ask that you create a card/project inspired by the PASTEL COLOURS in the photo and include CHEVRONS & RIBBONS!

Here is my card...


I loved this challenge and had tons of ideas of what I wanted to create. I opted to use one of the new kraft Chevron Bitty Bags from the shop as my centrepiece. I added a spellbinder label folded over the top of the bag held together with a mini wooden peg as a closure. The sweet shabby tea roses add the finishing touch to the bitty bag along with some aqua swirly pearls!

I used papers from MME Be Happy and sewed around the edge of the card before adding some iced lime seam binding and a cute lemon yellow button tied on with some ivory button twine. Not forgetting the little label, which is a stamp from WMS's Big Berries Strawberry Set (love this set).

Please check out the rest of the DT's card, they are super gorgeous!
