Shabby Flower

dream valley challenges
Hope you are enjoying the remaining days of summer. I have to admit that I like the cooler evenings! Do you have a summer card that you would like to share with My Grafico Crafts

You are welcome to join our current challenge: #136 Summer, and show off your cards or paper crafts.

Link up your creation by Friday, September 14th
Remember to link a new project and to only link your project, not your whole blog.
Here is the digital set that we used in our DT creations this week:


I chose to create a card and hand stitch the X's.

This is a close-up of the stitching on the flower.

I had fun choosing the coordinating DP! The inside is blank on this card. That way it can be used for any occasion. 

Materials Used;
Image: My Grafico
DP: Background- Michael's, others from my forgotten treasures of scraps:)
Ruffle: fabric ruffle-JoAnn's
(After applying the ruffle, the circle was popped up with dots.)

Thank you for taking the time to visit. I hope that you have enjoyed this simple card. I hope that I have inspired you. If you have any questions, just contact me. Please feel free to leave a comment and/or follow this blog. Have a wonderful week.

  7. Hi Barbara

    I love the simple flower image on your card, and the stitching adds to the childlike feel also.

    It's quite difficult on your photo to see lots of pink (which we obviously require)... but I imagine the camera has changed the colour - which it often does with certain types of pink.

    Thanks for joining in the fun at In The Pink... good luck with this one and hope to see you again soon.

    Hugs
