Something a little different!

This card I used the Shadows of Memories collection from Clear Artistic Stamps.

Other supplies I used were:

• Elmer’s gluestick
• Prismacolor markers
• Green ribbon
• White cardstock
• Adhesive dots
• Large pinking scissors

I did something a little different with this card, something I’ve never done before. I used sample drapery fabric swatches as the background instead of paper or cardstock.

I had to cut off some bad spots to be able to use the piece on the front, which is why it’s not as wide as the piece on the back.

To fill in the empty space on the sides I just cut up another piece of fabric and glued it onto the card.

I then used the green ribbon and glued it down to cover the lines where the two fabrics meet together.

I then used the large pinking scissors and cut down the sides of the fabric to give a jagged look on the back and then glued it down.

Whew!! The hard part is done.

To do the phrase the way I did I had to cut it into three different pieces…Very Carefully!! I then stamped all images onto cardstock and used the Prismacolor markers to color it.

Finally, I cut out all the pieces and used the adhesive dots to put it on the card.

I really liked doing this card. It took more time trying to decide which fabrics to use than anything else. Once I finally decided it took no time at all.
