French Press Card


I love how my online card addiction takes me to all sorts of cool places for inspiration and challenges. This card is a combination of a number of challenges. I started off at Two Peas in A Bucket and they've got a current challenge that requires you to use one of their free digital kits. I thought that sounded like fun. Being that I have a thing for coffee I downloaded the Coffee Cup Album: Cupcakes and Coffee by Wilna Furstenberg. Then I decided to try out a different blade on my rotary cutter to see if it would look like faux stitching for Jenny's Wee Memories stitching contest. And then I threw it together in a take on this week's Card Patterns sketch. I saw a lovely blurb on By The Cute and Girly about "Something old, something new, sometthing borrowed, something blue" and realized that this card works well. Old is the blade from the cutter (which I never use, but now think is cool), new is the vellum I just got last week, borrowed is the lovely digital image and blue is the card stock and background.

Wow, this card is so cool (feel really 80s saying that...). First, I laughed out loud when you mentioned your online card addiction-I must have the same, and we should start a club. Then, I'm loving the image and the colors, and a really awesome interpretation of the sketch challenge.

Love the shapes you've cut your paper into to make this card and glad you realised it covered the challenge at By the Cute And Girly!
