Good morning!
Svenja has a wonderful dare for us this week on the Daring Cardmakers blog – inspired by Frida Kahlo and all things Mexico.
I had an idea that immediately leapt into my head and I wanted to embrace the fiesta colour palette and use trim/fringe for added texture.
Here’s what I made:
Stamp: The Stamp Market – Dotted Background
Dies: The Stamp Market – Hooray, MFT – Loopy Bloom (r)
To get that fringe trim look, I remembered that I had an old loopy flower die that could be adapted to this task. I just needed to cut the die-cuts down the middle to create two pieces of “trim” and armed with an array of colourful cardstock from The Stamp Market, I started assembling the background of my card.
I used the same colours for my die-cut sentiment that is nested in the fresh pink dotted background and mounted on gold glitter paper.
Finally, I added some green pompom trim from an old Crate Paper Christmas collection – I’ve obviously been hanging onto it all these years just waiting for this project. 😉
Make sure you check out the wonderful projects from the rest of the design team, and play along if you can!
Happy crafting!
