Beautiful Spirit

Happy Sunday,
Hope you are all blessed and well.  I have a card share for you today.  My color inspiration comes from the Embellish Blog.  I love the color combo they have for this week's challenge but I have to say that this was a tough one!  I'm glad I had these cute buttons by Studio G.  I picked them up from Wal-mart for $1 a while back and they are perfect for this challenge!

The sketch I used is from Just Us Girls Challenge #148

It took some trial and error to get the completed card because you really have to dig through your stash to find what colors are needed but I had fun putting it together.  I am always in love with vintage ephemera so that is the theme of this card.  I hope to use it as a Birthday card for a co-worker next month.

Fussy & Fancy DT Challenge Fancy Folds

Hi All!
This weeks challenge over at Fussy and Fancy is to create a project using fancy folds.  I tried a couple folds before I came to this very simple tri-fold card.  The card measures 6 x 11in" and is scored at 2 1/2 in" and again at 7 1/2 in".  My masculine card is a birthday card for my stepdad.  I was happy with the results and here it is....

I used twine to bind my card and hid it within the layer of ephemera.

Supplies: K & Co Ephemera

Gartner Studios papers

7 Gypsies metal embellishment

I enjoyed working on this card and look forward to making more just like this one.  

If you give it a try please let me know!

I look forward to seeing your projects over at Fussy & Fancy!
