Here are the details on all the goods I used on the card...
I started with a 5X7 corrugated kraft card. I then diecut a bracket out of robin blue cardstock using my Cricut and the oh so lovely Storybook Cartridge. Before gluing the blue to the base, I wrapped/tied red baker's twine at the top left and bottom right. Next, I used my piercing tool to add extra interest all around the edges of the bracket. The scalloped edges were applied next. The bottom one is a decorative edge from the GCD Studios Artsy Urban line. I used one of my tiny hole punches from CTMH for the holes in the bottom of the scallop. The top one I created using a scalloped ruler and red paper from Hambly's Doily Decor line. To give it extra dimension, I added foam dots underneath the scallops. As for the button embellishments, the one that says "love" is a CTMH round metal tag that is covered by a red epoxy sticker from Target. The "love" on the top is a rub-on from CTMH's Love Letters. As mentioned earlier the "37" is a button I created. The red ruler paper is from Teresa Collins' Sports Words Collection. Of course to create the button, I used my very handy 1" button maker machine. Do you have one of those? If not, it is truly worth the investment. Not only for instant embellishments, but for instant "flair" as well! Not to mention all the great possibilites for your kids...for their backpacks, for school, for birthday party favors or even to sell. You can't even imagine how many people will pay $1 per button! Okay, focus Amy...back to the card deets...I used American Crafts white Sarah Script stickers for "faith," K & Company's K-Ology Addison Glittered Chipboard Letters for "hope" & the "ampersand" is from American Crafts Thickers in a yummy aqua. Wow, that sounds like a lot of detail!
Again, I truly appreciate you all! Please be sure to stop by and check out the actual sketch that was the catalyst for my creation as well as the many other interpretations! http://www.twistedsketches.com/
