PDCC130

It's time for The Play Date Cafe's Challenge #130!  Are you ready?

I'm just going to get right to it, because it's been a super busy week in my neck of the woods.

I started this card by framing a piece of gray, stripe, patterned paper with a piece of Pool Party cardstock; machine stitching, with gray-threaded, zig-zag stitches, around its edges; wrapping the bottom half of it with a length of sheer, pink ribbon, which I tied, in a bow, near the right edge of the prepped piece and pierced with a white, heart, trinket pin; and adhering it, with foam tape, to the Crumb Cake, cardstock, card face.

I then stamped a portion of a doily image, in Pool Party ink, on a white, notebook tag; adhered it horizontally and flush with the left edge of the cardstock; and layered a "CHAPTER 1 the beginning", gray tag over it and flush with the right side of the stripe, patterned paper.

I then stamped the scalloped frame, in Pretty in Pink ink, on a Whisper White, cardstock die cut; dressed up its bottom edge with the stamped, in Basic Black ink, "on your wedding day" sentiment; filled in the space above the sentiment with lots of color-coordinating buttons, three of which were laced with white string and one of which was topped with a pearl; and adhered it, with foam tape, just to the left of the ribbon bow.
