MMM Mid-week Motivation - Lace and Pearls.

Sorry - I'm a day late with this. Today's inspiration piece is an ATC. They are great for using up card scraps and odd images left over and don't take too long to make. This one I made today was an image downloaded from the Craft Stamper Magazine  web site in the resources section. What's great about that is they can be re sized so they can be used for scrapbooking, card making or in this case ATCs.
Now I think I have said before - ATCs are always 2.5" x 3.5" - so after cutting my piece of card stock that size I edged it in very thin double sided tape. On to that I stuck some scrap lace to make a sort of frame and then I placed my image on top of that - please take a look

The image has also been distressed and sponged with some Tea Dye DIs. My pearls are some I had stashed away and are stuck together in a string, these were glued on using some 3D clear gloss finish. The flower was very easily made by punching out several small scallop circles - I think I used 8. They were all then scrunched up tightly and un-raveled. I pierced a hole through them with my pokey tool and threaded them all onto a brad. When the brad is closed the circles can then be manipulated up-wards to form the flower shape. I inked the edges of mine again with the Tea Dye but the edges can also be dabbed with glue and then sprinkled with glitter.
This is our last challenge in the VINTAGE theme - on Monday we start a brand new theme and set of challenges thought up for us by the lovely DT member Suzanne but if you would like the chance of receiving this ATC in a giveaway please look here .

Mid-week Motivation - Moved!

Hello all -if you are popping over for the mid-week motivation spot this week I'm sorry but it will be a little late. I had a big workshop to prepare for over the last few days and I have been short of time. I'm very sorry but if you would like to pop back sometime tomorrow I should have a little something to show you then - Jacqueline.

MMM - Mid-week Motivation - Crumpled and Torn Vellum

We are still creating using our Vintage theme courtesy of Fliss - don't forget that this month's overall winner will get a chance to be a guest designer on our team sometime next month.
This week it was the turn of Shabby Chic - Torn or Crumpled. My card today demonstrates both. I have taken a piece of vellum, crumpled and distressed it and also torn the edges - take a look

I have also crumpled my ribbon by grabbing a couple of threads at one end and gently pulling, as you can see it has been secured using small brads. The background paper is K& Co. Blue Awning and the bird cage stamp is from Stampin' Up's Nature Walk.
Hope this inspires you to join in the challenge, all the details can be found here.
See you next week - Jacqueline.
