It has been a great crafty weekend here. On Friday I took a vacation day and headed with some of my crafty friends, Janice and Valerie, and Janice's crafty mom, Ruby, for a day of craft shopping. It was so much fun and we found some real crafty treasures! Then, yesterday it was an early meet for Janice and I at Valerie's house where we spent the whole day and late into the evening crafting. I think I cleaned up my craft mess at 2am. Quality craft time! But I think I have a crafting hangover today. :)
One of the cards I made last night is for two challenges: Kraft Journal's Inside and out and the Cardabilities Sketch. The base was made from Kraft card stock. I applied Tim Holtz' Picket Fence to the edges. Simple Stories' Homespun supplied the background paper inside and out of the card. Kraft card stock was cut using Tim Holtz' Sizzix die Easter Elements and also the flourishes from Spellbinders die set Venetian Motifs. The flourishes had Picket Fence applied and the bunny had TH crackle paint in Picket Fence applied. The bunny then had TH Brushed Corduroy ink added along the edges. A doily was die cut from more of the Homespun paper. "Thinking of You" from JustRite stamp set Enjoy the Day was used on the banner.
Hugs to all!

What a sweet shabby chic bunny. It looks great with the woodgrain background and plaid. Lots of nice textures going on utilizing the Cardabilites sketch. Thanks for joining us there. P.S. Your term "crafting hangover" made me chuckle aloud. I've felt that way before, lol.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than having a craft day with friends. Love your card the bunny looks so cool done with crackle paint. Really liking that doily die too may have to add that to my wish list.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card. The outside is lovely but the surprise of the inside finished on both sides is a delight!
ReplyDeleteA crafty hangover sounds like an awful lot of fun :)
ReplyDeleteI really love the texture on the bunny - it makes me think of white chocolate! The gems and flourish are perfect & I love the splash of bright pattern against the woodgrain!
