Hello Everybody!
I am playing with all of my new fun things that I got at Christmas! Plus I went to the scrapbook store and couldn't help myself! But I did exercise some caution so I didn't come back home with way way more stuff--just a litte bit more stuff ;)
The card I have here I am entering into 3 challenges:
CAS-ual Fridays: CFC33 Create a clean and simple project using Kraft and Twine
Simon Says Stamp: Anything goes!
Wee Memories: WMC80 Anything Goes!
So here's my card...Scroll on down and I'll show you what I did!
Here is my blank Kraft canvas.
Here's my blank chipboard canvas. ;) I painted them white (which I don't have a picture of but trust me, I painted them.)
Here is a little treat I got from my local scrapbook store. Lime green twine by My Mind's Eye. Fun!
So after my chipboard letters dried, I wrapped the twine around them. I used a little glue on the front and taped the back with the winding piece. Here is the dot of the eye. I used a clothes pin to help the glue dry.
Here is the back of the h.
Here's the front.
I adhered the letter with Glossy Accents to the Kraft card. Then using a fine black pen I doodled a frame around the edges.
I have Martha Stewart twine-which I like-but I found the twine from My Mind's Eye to be a little thicker. So I thought that was cool and I would tell you in case you are shopping around for twine. :)
Until next time my friends...enjoy the last days of December...and 2011!
