Hello Friends,
Happy Monday everyone! I am here with two cards created for
The Shabby Tea Room - week #207. This week Tina is our creative host and she has chosen
the theme of
'Wishy Washi' along with this beautiful photo for inspiration! Tina asks that you create a card or project inspired by the photo and
INCLUDE WASHI TAPE!
I was inspired by the cream, greens, and pinks at the bottom of the photo. Are you wondering where I used my washi tape on my designs above. Here is a process photo:
I layered strips of Washi tape onto white cardstock and then die-cut my mats with the taped pieces. I love that putti colored polka dotted one! So sweet!
Both of these cards were given to my sweet younger sister Beth at her bridal shower this past weekend. She loves nature and earth tones as well as the color green. I tried to incorporate her colors into the cards.
This week our sponsor is:
Digital Papers by Janet Etsy! I used a digital file from our sponsor called
"Flower Strips". I cut the strips from two sheets and layered three of the designs onto some copy weight paper with glue. I then diecut my large mat and saved the outside or negative piece to create the second card:
I was having a very difficult time getting my photos to show true colors outside as it was a very dark and overcast day when I took these here in Seattle. Here are some indoor shots under artificial lighting:
I am not sure which photos are better but I thought I would share both. The cards definitely look better in real life - as usual! This card is kraft cardstock with a layer of embossed vellum over the top. The "wedding couple" stamps I used are from two sets at Paper Sweeties:
Live, Laugh, Love and
Wedding Day. The sentiment "Celebrating You Today" is from a PTI set. I was trying to find a Wedding Shower" sentiment but do not think I have one in my stash so I had to get creative!
Thanks so much for taking a look at my cards! I hope you will hop over to
The Shabby Tea Room to look at all of the projects from the design team and our guests! We would love to have you join us in the Tea Room this week!
:) Jill
