The way it works is you just pick three squares going down, across, or diagonally, and make a card using those three. I chose enamel dots, patterned paper, and ribbon or twine. Here's what I came up with!
You may notice that the enamel dots have dark stuff on them. That is because I made them myself, and I think I burnt them in the oven! Whoops...
I also made the patterned paper. That is, I drew the pattern on myself. I did not make the paper, although I would love to do that sometime. I love chevron, and I'm so happy with how it turned out! I used my scallop edge punch on the sides.
Then for the twine, I got creative and decided to spell a word with it instead of the traditional wrapping around paper I'm used to seeing. I don't know if that really counts as twine actually...? It's technically embroidery floss...I think.
I don't remember ever doing words like this before, but I have done patterns with this thread on cards in the past.
For the edges of this card, I rubbed light pink sharpie on my finger and then rubbed it onto the card. It gives sort of a soft...princess-y feel, don't you think? Well anyway, it makes me think of princesses and tea parties.
Hope you like it! I might do some more of these challenges in the future!
Wow Maggie, you are so creative! I love the patterned paper you designed and I think the enamel dots look great with the dark spots in them...it give them character. Super card! Thanks so much for joining us this week at Stamp, Ink, Paper! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that means sooo much to me! Thank you so much! I agree, the dark spots on the dots do give them some character. Thanks so much for commenting!
DeleteWow, I love this too, Maggie! I really love that twine sentiment, what a great idea. Thanks for playing along with my Tic Tac Toe challenge at SIP!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog!
DeleteMaggie, you steal my heart. Clean and simple is my style and you did a fabulous job my dear! Thanks you for joining us at Stamp Ink Paper.
ReplyDeleteI love clean and simple too. I definitely prefer it over busy. Thanks for the compliment! It means a lot to me, especially since I'm still pretty un-experienced in the blogging world! By the way, I love that your name is Maggie also. :) A sort of funny thing is, when I was about to start a blog, one of the names I was thinking about was very similar to the name of your blog!
