Getting Scrappy

Hi everyone! Just a quick post to share today. My little guy had a high fever this morning and hasn't been feeling well. I'm crossing my fingers that the rest of us don't get it.

One of the new digital releases this week at Two Peas in a Bucket is Adrienne Looman's English Rose collection. Her papers are always so fabulous and easy to work with as a card maker. I was feeling like making something more scrappy, and here's what I came up with:

REMOVED FOR PUBLICATION

This card has hand-cut chevrons, wonky stitching, misting, painting, stamping, glitter...I was about to add rhinestones when I stopped. ;)

I started off with printing the English Rose papers, trimming them into rectangles, and cutting the rectangles into chevrons. I didn't worry if the angles didn't wind up perfectly. Aren't they pretty papers?

Here's a close-up:

REMOVED FOR PUBLICATION

For the background, I misted with some Mr. Huey's Dewey. For the edges, I the perfect shade of pink mist,  but I wanted lighter and darker edges. I added a little white paint to make some of the mist lighter. I used the same concoction for the heart veneer and added glitter.

A little different for me, but I like how it turned out. :)

Thanks for looking! Have a great day!
