PAPER CAKE TRAIL

  Today's card was created using the Colour Challenge over at CR84FN.   I began by mating a panel of plum coloured damask paper with Whisper White, then zigzag stitched around the edges.  Then, I die cut a label from light plum patterned paper and adhered it slightly to the right of the stitched panel.  I used my Cricut to cut out the Brushed Gold heart and adhered that to the panel.  Pretty White lace trim is glued to the left of the panel and Sandstone seam binding is wrapped around the panel to the right of the lace trim.  To the bow I added a Plum coloured button with Rustic Kraft twine and a die cut tag with a 'Warm Wishes' sentiment.  I die cut a snowflake from White textured paper adding a pearl and affixed that to the Gold heart.  Finally, I mounted the entire panel onto a Crumb Cake cardstock base.   Thank you for stopping by!

Today's card was inspired by the inspiration photo over at  the ribbon reel challenge blogspot.   I mounted lined paper on a piece of Domestic Goddess Designer patterned paper, and stamped a French inspired image on the left upper corner in 'Bashful Blue'.  I then adhered a piece of Brown polka dot paper across the bottom of the panels and machine stitched around the edges with Brown thread.  I punched a floral border with Pink checker patterned paper and layered it down on the right side of the panel.   White organza ribbon is wrapped around the middle with a bow tied and a Pink button. 'From the Heart' is stamped in Brown ink,  punched out with an Oval scalloped punch and adhered with foam adhesive.   A piece of Green patterned paper was die cut as well as a heart from upcycled paper, and placed on the lower left side of the panel.  Finally, butterflies were added with sparkling Yellow rhinestones.
