Think Spring!!! * Wacky Wednesday!
Welcome to the 2nd Wacky Wednesday! Today’s Wacky Wednesday challenge is brought to us by Kittie Carriciolo! The challenge is to make a card with any kind of fold other than the normal single fold card. … uh ….. I hope mine qualifies? Maybe not? Yes, my base card has one fold. But my “die-cut flap” has it’s own fold to create a cool closure. Judges? Do we have judges available?! (Maybe I should call some friends??) …. hmmmm … Guess I’ll just carry on for now. 😉
I created a variation of the tucked matchbook fold by adding a separate die-cut piece for the flap. It’s secured with a staple, and the button is simply adhered atop the staple. Tex-style. Shhhhhh! That’s our secret! Otherwise, I consider this to be one of my rare ‘CAS’ or Clean & Simple creations. DDaughter …. see that button, and the not-so-many layers? Here’s one’s for you! 😉
This week’s SCS Color Challenge includes the colors, Almost Artichoke, Rose Red, and Black. Well, I knew right away that I was destined to try to work with those colors, as I enjoy each one on its own. I employed some dotted printed paper, and added a dotted background stamp to the Rose Red. Then it seemed that the perfect button just popped out of my stash … so it came together!
We’re hoping for a rainy day here! (Hoping & wishing!) I hope your day is sweet as well!
Sweet Get Well Wishes to you, DSIL Sue!
