CRAFTING FOREVER. . . WE ARE CUT OUT TO BE FRIENDS. . .



This is one of the cards we made during my April 4 Techniques Card Class.  
It features the Faux Stitching Technique as well as Background Stripes Technique. 



The colors are Lemon Lime Twist , Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight along with Whisper White and Basic Black.

The stamp set is Crafting Forever found on page 179 of the Annual Catalog.

The background lines were drawn freehand to give a purposeful slightly crooked and offset look.  I used a Stampin Blend marker to do this. 

Next the designer series paper was adhered offset to add interest and depth. 

The scissors were stamped with Memento Black ink and colored with Stampin Blends.  

Then I used a ruler and a journalling pen to add faux stitch detail around the perimeter of the focal image. 

A quick stamped greeting highlighted by a scribble from a Stampin Blend marker and some freehand faux stitching and some scraps of coordinating ribbon and voila! 

The idea for this card came from the quarterly demonstrator Stampin' Success magazine, a magazine giving demonstrators ideas for presenting products to their customers.....here are the cards from the magazine based on skill level: 

Beginner Crafter: 

Casual Crafter: 


Avid Crafter: 


and once again....my card stepped up yet again because crafting is fun and my girls rock!
