PDCC97 - Trade Fish Designs

Welcome to The Play Date Cafe's Challenge #97!

Our sponsor for this week is Trade Fish Designs...

who sent me a fabulous, sentiment set, Slang Baby, to play with.  Thanks, Trade Fish Designs!  Here's what this week's Color Splash and that stamp set inspired me to create.

I started this card by piecing all my patterned papers, including a piece of Whisper White cardstock that was stamped, in Basic Black and Real Red inks, with the cherries and glittered...

to a piece of computer paper and machine stitched, with white-threaded, zig-zag stitches, between their connections and, with white-threaded, straight stitches, around their edges, before adhering it to the Whisper White, cardstock, card face.

I then wrapped a length of white, seam binding ribbon around the bottom half of the card face; tied it, in a dressy bow, just left of center; and embellished it with a Pure Poppy button, laced with Baker's Twine bows.

The "You are so SWEET" sentiment was stamped, in Basic Black and Real Red inks, on a paper doily, which had been distressed with Tea Dye and Antique Linen inks, and adhered in the center of the card face...

to complete the look.
