Our sponsor again for today is Paper Romance. Head on over to the C4C blog for all the deets.
Now, on to my card. I decided to make it easy on you--CAS. I stamped my "patterned" paper but if you choose to CASE me you don't have to do that--feel free to use any patterned paper that you have. Please keep it CAS, but other than that let your creativity flow!
My base card is PTI Hawaiian Shores. The stamped paper is Kraft, on which I first stamped the grid from Guide Lines Two with Dark Chocolate ink stamped off twice. I could barely see it, which was exactly what I wanted. Then I stamped the two different motifs in Aqua Mist (yes, that's right--it shows up darker on Kraft than it would on lighter paper) and Dark Chocolate, stamped off once. The rest is pretty simple--sentiment, from the 2009 anniversary set, Round & Round, was stamped with Dark Chocolate, then some simple piercing, and 3/4" twill tied in a bow with a button and twine to dress it up a bit.
NOW, be sure to check out the samples by the rest of my crazy girls...er, I mean the Crazy 4 Challenges team ;-)
