I have two cards to show you. The first one was the card I submitted for Week 3's Bro Challenge to use plaid and polka dots together. And guess what? I won Runner Up! I still can't believe it. I was cleaning my stash and found these two scraps of dp perfect for the challenge. I don't know what brand they are. I used paper piecing and Copic coloring on these adorable Shine On! lamps. A little bit of distressing, stitches, punches and button finished the card. The card base is Ruby Red.
The next card is my other attempt to what I call clean & shabby style. Not quite the typical shabby chic as I don't know how to do collages. I like everything to be straight. LOL! I used Birdie Inspiration and Stylin' Stars. Isn't that ribbon gorgeous? That's a local find and it's so silky soft. The card base is Pink Passion. The dps are La Creme by DCWV and K&Co.
Both cards use machine stitching for the Crazy 4 Challenges this week.
Congrats! I can so believe it! Your cards ROCK!!
