Today I’m excited to present a card for the inaugural Paper Therapy Weekly Challenge! If you’re not familiar with Paper Therapy, it’s an online papercrafting forum where creative ideas and friendship are shared. Click on the button in my sidebar to check it out!
This week we have a sketch challenge. I guess I was in an autumn mood when I chose my color scheme. I had a hard time figuring out exactly how to finish off the twill tape. I didn’t really want a bow, I didn’t have any buttons that coordinated with the rest of the card, and none of the metal hardware I have seemed to work. So I finally decided to ruffle it, and I’m pleased with how that turned out.
I hope you’ll decide to play along with the challenges at Paper Therapy! Like the name implies… it’s great for one’s mental health! 🙂 Links to the other design team members’ blogs are in my sidebar, so please feel welcome to see what they’ve been creating.
