The Shabby Tea Room challenge #217 - "pretty prints"

Pin It

Hi everyone! This week at The Shabby Tea Room I really had to think outside of my box because the theme threw me off a bit. But after a lot of hard thinking I realized that I was OVER THINKING things...jeeze!!! What's new, right? Well, this week our assignment was to use the colors in the inspiration picture AND include fabric...how was I going to use fabric??? After a long while it dawned on me that DUH, pre-made flowers can be fabric, burlap can be fabric, fabric covered buttons, Use a strip of fabric to make a fun frayed knot in place of a ribbon one, etc...easy peasy!!! Not sure why my mind took so long to get into gear on this one, jeeze, lol!!!

create a card or project inspired by the COLORS IN THE PHOTO AND INCLUDE FABRIC!

Here's what I came up with after all of that AND it only took me a few minutes, lol....

I just got that banner die last week and am in love with it. I'll have to look up the name...I'm horrible about that, lol, but it made the patterned paper part and I layered the little kraft flags under it - CUTE! My paper came from a 6 X 6 pad as usual and I found some random flowers along with the yo-yo that is Michael's brand Christmas embellishment!! I finished up my card with one of my FAVE Paper Sweeties sentiments, Make Today Beautiful. I really love that whole set because it comes with flowers, leaves and a little pot so you can build your own flower, it's so adorable!!
