Scrappy Love

Hi everyone!  It’s a late posting for me.  We were out most of the day winery-hopping. Well, we hopped from one to a second.  We had hoped to hit a couple more but time slipped away.  It was such fun. 

I decided to shift back to my “road card” style for this one.  (If you’re new to my blog you may not know that when I distress and/or sponge edges, my husband always asks, “How long was this one in the road?”  Thus…the “road card.”

Love

I used one of My Favorite Things‘ newest releases, Seeds of Love by Annie LaPoint.   The flowers were stamped a second time, cut out and colored.  I clipped a bit between the petals so I could bend each one up just a tad, and I lightly distressed the petal edges as well.

MFTSPCU6I added a strip of gorgeous chocolate lace trim across the center, then added a felt flower beneath a button tied with natural jute string.  Jenni Bowlin mini-patterned papers are from Jacksonbelle Embellishments.  (Lindsey has the new Basic Grey! GO!)

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you’re having a great Labor Day weekend!
