I have some wonderful Consultants joining me in this hop which works as a circle. So begin "hopping" and feel free to leave comments along the way, please!
My creation is a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card. I've been playing with Close To My Heart's new, exclusive Art Philosophy cartridge and I had cut out a small version of a card with a bracket cutout in the front section. Then I had cut out the tag with the Cricut in the right size to use with the Limited Edition stamp set. So, I decided to use the small card as a holder for the tag. Well, it was a little stark since I had cut it out of Colonial White cardstock. So, I ran the Desert Sand stamp pad over it to give it some color. Then I inked the edges in black & fastened the tag holder with some antique copper mini brads. Then, I went in search of a pattern that would look good with those elements. I found On the Edge in Wishes card confidence book & decided that would look good. I changed it up by turning it horizontally and instead of cutting the plaid B&T into a circle, I kept it as a square. Then, I punched out a scalloped circle out of the same paper but flipped it over so that the rose pattern on the reverse side would be seen. As a finishing touch, I added a small piece of the zip strip that all the newest B&T papers have. Doesn't it look cute with the scallops across the top?
