CASE Study #29

Good morning!  We've got friends coming over, to play, in just a short while; so I'll get right to the creation, that I have for you all, today.

I started, this card, by adhering the small piece of damask, patterned paper to the larger piece of polka dot, patterned paper; machine stitching white-threaded, straight stitches around the edges of both pieces; and adhering the entire prepped piece to the Chocolate Chip, cardstock, card face, before wrapping a sheer, brown, polka dot ribbon, horizontally, around the card face, between the two patterned papers and tying it, in a bow, near the right edge of the card face.

My sentiment frame was die-cut from Whisper White cardstock; distressed with Tea Dye and Antique Linen inks; stamped, in Taken With Teal ink, with the frame and, in Chocolate Chip ink, with the "Chance made us sisters, hearts made us friends" sentiment; glittered around its edges; and adhered, just below the ribbon bow, with dimensionals.

Finally, that scrumptious, fabric flower is a pin I made using some leftover fabric from my sister's Christmas apron and this Charmed Flower tutorial I found on the JBS Blog.

I, then, stitched the Vintage Style button to the front and a circle of felt to the back for my pin to be glued, albeit using a bit too much glue (LOL!), upon...

before sticking it through the card face, just to the left of the ribbon bow...

to complete the look.

My inspiration, for this card, came from this beautiful card, created by Case Study's March Muse Julee Tilman, for Challenge #29.

I'm, also, so, stinkin' excited, to tell you all, that I was named a ColourQ Courtier for this creation.  Thanks ever so much to Arielle and her team of talented crafters!  I'm, truly, honored!

And thanks so much, to all of you, for peeking in!  May each and every one of you have an extra blessed day!  Oh!  Also, please, don't forget that you have until the close of today EST to link up your entries for Challenge #71 in The Play Date Cafe.
