CR84FN #63



 Good morning all, it's time for another new colour challenge over at CR84FN! I can't believe how fast this year is flying by, I actually bought my first Christmas present last week! You can never be too prepared!

This week, we have a lovely combination of Denim, Tan and Brown. So suitable for a masculine card, or dressed up for a more girly look, as I have done:

I have used a few different stamp sets to create my own background paper. I first stamped the text using Waltzingmouse Stamps Text it set in Old Paper distress ink onto some kraft bazzill.

Then, over the top of that I randomly stamped some clock face designs from Uniko Studios Extra Time set, in Frayed Burlap and Antique Linen Distress Inks. I then sponged around the edges in Frayed Burlap and Walnut stain D.I. and added a couple of little floral motifs from Uniko Studios Time set in Faded Jeans.

I then sewed this to Portal Blue Core'dinations card, and distressed the edges with my scissors.


I then created the sentiment frame using the delicate frame from WMS Ovals - Classic Frames set in Faded Jeans D.I.

I stamped the clock face by Uniko in Antique Linen, and the sentiment from WMS Afternoon Tea Sentiments in Rich Cocoa.
Cut with a Spellbinders Small Oval, then traced around the outer edge of the die on the blue card, and hand cut this, then distressed with scissors.


I used a piece of the stamped card inside stitched to a blue panel, punched with an MS punch.


Finally I layered all together with some Chocolate seam binding from The Ribbon Reel, and some beautiful Dovecraft lace and teal twine from my local craft shop Flutterby Crafts. I added some blue butterflies and gems, and a brown hemp threaded tan button.

Don't forget that we are having a D.T. call at CR84FN, please pop over to the CR84FN blog for more details!

Do stop by the rest of the Design Team for some fabulous inspiration!
