Today marks my official first day as a new Design Team Member over at the wonderfully fun Digi Darla's Challenge blog. Their challenges are always so much fun as the Design Team has a very creative bent, and I know you will enjoy playing along. I know I did. And DO!
My card today follows this week's challenge theme, which is "Winter Blues," and that just means to use a lot of blue in whatever way you choose.
I made a messy bow out of seam binding and adhered a white crochet flower to it after first inking it up, then I applied a button and some baker's twine on top.
The stitching was a very detailed heirloom stitch from my embroidery machine, which I think added more dimension to the layer. I have to say that it took AGES to stitch, probably about 20 minutes for the whole thing, but I like the effect it gives.
A thin ribbon and label tag finish this simple, yet fun card.
Thank you very much for joining me, and now I hope you'll head on over to Digi Darla's to see what the rest of the lovely Design Team have cooked up for you. And please do play along - we'd love to see you.
Happy crafting!
