Hello everyone~ Today I'm sharing a project made for Craft Dee BowZ. This is the company that makes the compact little bow tying tool I use nearly every day! I found a delightful, vintage image on line and designed this card around it...
Layers of distressed papers, stitching, ribbon, a flower, antique trim, stained cheescloth, pearls, a feather, a die cut wreath….all favorite things, went into this card...
A length of ribbon runs along the bottom edge and is topped with some antique trim. The corner sports a multi-looped bow and a chiffon flower...
This corner shows off some of the papery layers, a white feather tucked in between and a piece of spring fern peeking out from under the cheesecloth. Some pearls add some shine and light...
A delicate branching wreath, cut from patterned paper was also tucked into the layers...
For this charming image, I used some treasured silk buttonhole twist to stitch a border. It is thicker than sewing thread and has the most wonderful sheen.
Here is the image for your own enjoyment. I have searched the internet and not found any copyright restrictions on it's use...
With spring just a few days away, it is my hope you are feeling some warmth from the sun and seeing the stirrings in the trees and creatures around us...
