Now there's a mantra we could probably all use from time to time: live life wisely! This week's challenge over at Daring Card Makers is a sketch. Here's my take on it...
When I cut my piece of twill tape for this card, it curled over at the end and I decided I liked the effect so I stitched it down in a way that let it keep right on curling!
My only change to the sketch was to tilt the rectangle at a slight angle as straight didn't really seem right with the slightly grungy feel of this. I've roughed up the edges a bit too (I just use scissors held in a V shape to do this).
Stamps: Journal Box, Time to Stamp, Aged Sheet Music Scrapblock™, Spanish Script Backgrounder (all Cornish Heritage Farms)
Ink: Adirondack dye ink by Ranger - Espresso and Latte
Paper: Prism Suede Brown dark, smooth white, ivory hammer texture
Other: blending chalk, cotton twill tape, extra large eyelet (We R Memory Keepers), sewing machine and thread.
TFL! Hope you liked it :o)
