Hiya!
This is a scheduled post - not back from the trip yet. :)
I have a card today made using my NEW HA stamps I won from last months contest - have been waiting for them for what seems like forever! ;)
Anyways, this post is for the Etsy Inspired challenge, and the shop is Sunshyne Silverware, which came up with the brilliant idea of making pendants out of spoons! I was inspired by THIS spoon;
Will add that I used THIS weeks 2S4Y sketch to get me rolling as to the layout of the card. ;)
Instructions:
Cut card base and patterned paper - distress polka dot paper and base with edge of scissors. Stamp image onto white paper, than several times on patterned paper, using the paper piercing technique. Faux stitch border of white paper. Add half pearls to center of flower, and adhere decorated image to base, than tie twine around base. Stamp sentiment onto paper, cut out in tag shape, add button, and adhere to twine.
You may only see two, but I used three Hero Arts products - the two stamps, and, because I am low on quality white paper, their product packaging! Here's proof...
I love how it says they're a green company, and than I go recycle the packaging. ;)
Anyways, thanks as always for stopping in and leaving those super sweet comments!
