I'm super excited to be here today sharing my first project as a member of the Colour Me...! Design Team! We're going monochromatic this week, and I thought the chosen color, Stampin' Up's Real Red, would be perfect for a thank you for my big kiddo's baseball coach. It's hard to believe that there are only a couple of weeks left in the season.
I started this card by smudging Candy Apple Red Glimmer Mist, as well as spritzing it and Chalk Glimmer Mist, onto a piece of watercolor paper. I then stamped it, in Jet Black ink, with the "thank you FOR EVERYTHING" sentiment; trimmed its left edge with a strip of red, polka dot, patterned paper; and machine-stitched, with gold-threaded, straight stitches, a frame around their combined edges.
The connection of the two papers was wrapped with a length of Baker's Twine, which was tied, in a bow, near the top edge of the prepped piece before adhering it, with foam tape, to the White, cardstock, card face.
A Cameo-cut, from Whisper White and Riding Hood Red cardstocks, baseball overlaps the watercolor piece's right edge; and a sprinkling of gold star sequins, as well as clear gemstones, completes the look.
Here's this week's Creative Challenge No. 78 graphic to get you started.
