This week Kia has chosen the Yves Delorme Outlet as the inspiration challenge and they have collections of Pinterest boards here. and somewhere in Pinterest there is a board that shows fabrics being worked with and textile factory type mug shots... and I seen this fabric with hands with texture. ( and I didn't bench mark it or even jot down the name of the board it was) so, I spent a lot of time on Friday evening trying to find it and threw my hands up and tried again yesterday morning. ( I am not looking anymore) but, my first impression of the boards was this is a lot of white. does anyone really live like this? ( not me, my dog is maybe 8 inches from my left leg as I type this and I cannot imagine having so much white. And then I glance up and all the containers for my studio are White hahaha... but, I mean linens and such I guess.
Anyways, I did eventually find this (which was not what jump started my card ) and used it for a link in the gallery at SCS.
Why that caught my eye was I received this new Mintay Christmas paper pad called Holly jolly and it has this fantastic Embroidered looking white on white paper that is swoon-worthy. And in my head I did not want to cover up that paper to use it. So, I had recently gotten this Penny Black elegant frames die in the mail and decided to do an A6 card ( this paper is 6X8 ) and I trimmed one end to cover an A6 card front and then used the drop piece to cut the frame. ( it cuts 3 pieces) so I taped it back together again on the back side and used some foam pop dots on that layer) and I did spin it so the patterns do not line up all perfectly and then I added this really big and I think pretty Sue Wilson die just called "Joyful" and so the words are just White neenah cardstock and its shadow layer is PTI vellum cardstock. and that is it. In hind sight I probably should have dropped the sentiment down a smidge on that layer but, it is what it is. I do like that you can see all the texture to the print of the paper and that was my main goal doing this one. That's about it from me, if you'd like to play along with us you can find this challenge here at SCS. thanks for stopping by.
