ScrapFIT Workout #84

We're nearly back to the weekend, y'all!  I'm not sure why that excites me so, except that we've all been feeling a little under the weather in some way and could use a bit more time to just do nothing.  Plus, a reprieve from our daily studies and activities and my hubby being around to help with the daily grind usually permits me a little, extra time to just be myself, particularly with my creating.  So, I'm crossing my fingers that's exactly what this weekend will bring ;).  Speaking of, I just love the soft beauty of the creation I have, to share with you all, today.  Enjoy!

I started this card by trimming the left edge of a piece of vintage, book-print, patterned paper with a strip of aqua, distressed, patterned paper, as well as a die cut strip of Oatmeal cardstock and anchoring them all, with white-threaded, zig-zag, machine stitches, to the Kraft, cardstock, card face.  I then trimmed the space between the original paper and the die cut cardstock with a length of kraft lace, and later, topped it with a length of Crumb Cake, taffeta ribbon, tied, in a bow, near the top edge of the card face and embellished with a lone pearl.

But before that ribbon was added, I secured a strip of aqua, floral, glitter paper, over a bit of cheesecloth and just below horizontal center, with brown-threaded, zig-zag, machine stitches.

Finally, the sentiment panel was created by stamping the frame itself, in Crumb Cake ink, on an ink distressed, Oatmeal, cardstock die cut; filling it in with the stamped, in Pool Party ink, "LOVE", sentiment frame, which also received a kiss of glitter; and finishing with the stamped, in Chocolate Chip ink, "Today, Tomorrow, Forever" sentiment.  It was then adhered, with foam tape, just to the bottom right of the embellished bow.

Color inspiration for this card came from ScrapFIT's Workout #84.

Thanks for taking a little bit of time out of your busy schedules to humor me with a visit!  I hear my littlest waking and calling for me.  So, we're off to another day.  Hope yours is blessed!  Hugs!
