woven background

Hello all!

Today I'm showing you a card that I made for my Mom.

I was going out of town for a couple weeks and wanted

her to know that I was thinking of her while

I was away.  I made this card and sent it

while I was visiting a friend in Ohio.

For a tutorial on how to make the woven background

hop over to 

Mashed Potatoes and Crafts

where you'll find a step by step tutorial.

.

I used "Flower Basket"(#24608) 

from Eureka Stamps

I colored it with water color crayons,

fussy cut it and adhered it right to the 

stamped background.

I used the Small Folded Banner Die

from Simon Says Stamp,

to make the banner and stamped

the sentiment with the coordinating

stamp set.

I used a little distress ink to give it a little color.

The inside was left blank and I wrote a note

to my Mom before sending the card.

I know she loved receiving this card

and I enjoyed making it.

Anything Goes Challenge

Today's challenge on the

Eureka! Stamps Blog is

"Anything Goes"

I have used

"Flower Basket" (#24608) from

Eureka! Stamps

I stamped the Flower Basket onto white card stock.

The image was colored with water color crayons and the background was inked with Distress Ink.

I have to say, when I first made this card,

I wasn't too happy with it, but I must admit,

the more I look at it, the more I like it.

 

I hope you'll play along with our challenge this week.

We, on the design team, love seeing what you create!

Until next time, Happy Crafting.
