Ribbons, Lace and Twine

Well it has been an amazing couple of months for me, crafting up a storm and getting myself out there in the crafting world.

I'm so excited to announce that I have been added to My Besties Pretty pre-coloured pintables design team and I cannot wait to show you my very first inspiration for their new challenge #6

 "ribbon, lace and twine"

When I got this beautiful 3d sheet with Bestie - Blakely Ann swing

http://scrapbookstampsociety.com/auction_details.php?auction_id=107635

 

I new straight away I had to create something that had her being able to really swing.

I printed her sheet out twice, so that I could add a few extra layers.

I made and extra layer at the front of her hair (piece in front of her headband)

and an extra layer with the shoes.

 

 

So I thought I would use my Katie Label Accordian die set

http://www.ecraftdesigns.com/collections/pop-it-ups/products/katie-label-accordion-903

a great die set to use for making a moving or swing creation in a card.

I cut out 7 pieces (double layer for the card part and 3 layer for the swing frame)

out of green cardstock from my stash
and used paper pad 6x6 Hot off the press - rosemary and thyme

1 piece in a patterned paper for the front of the card

I then cut out 2 large plain purple labels

2 medium patterned paper labels

1 small oval (which comes with this die) in plain purple

I then embossed in white on the oval piece 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY'

I now piece it all together placing the bestie swing in between a layer to hold firmly in place.

I have also added some sparkle to her  with my clear wink of stella

and stamped a lace pattern in Stampin up  ' whisper white' around the swing frame.

I've then added some embellishments with Button brads, lace ribbon flower,

2 x ribbon bows and brass rose trinket.

and finally before joining the accordion labels together I used Katie Holly Frame Edges die

http://www.ecraftdesigns.com/collections/pop-it-ups/products/katie-holly-frame-edges-905 

to frame out the 2 main card pieces.

Now piece the labels together with the little tabs provided.

and my Bestie accordion card with Bestie hanging a swing is complete.
