I’ve been really enjoying the PaperCrafts Joy of Cardmaking features in each issue. This is another design I created using one of their fun sketches. Sorry…I’m not quite sure which issue this one is in but definitely one of their most recent ones. For one of the layers, I used a transparency with paint brushed on the edges and reverse side and rub-ons on the front. This adds a fun funky look and still allows the beautiful Fancy Pants designer paper to show through. To hold on the transparency I used some fun fuzzy brads from Making Memories to add a little texture. Some freestyle stitching around the edges adds to the slightly shabby look and frames the design.

Update: All my ink for sale is now sold except for my Soft Subtles Craft Spots. Thanks soooo much for the response. I’ve been frantically busy today trying to keep up. My busy week “off” is going well. I’m getting so many things done although I think I’ll be exhausted by the end of the week! 20 loads of laundry, 25 shirts ironed, three closets cleaned, spring clothes sorted, some renovation mess cleaned up, cardstock and stamps and inks priced and sorted and the list goes on….. 🙂
