It has been a while since I did a one sheet wonder but I felt like having fun with paper and set to on this one sheet wonder project.
I tried to use up bits off the desk as I was building them after the initial cardstock mats etc. I built them up bit by bit too rather than just rushing in to get things stuck down.
So here was the starting point…
A piece of retired Stampin Up Tea for two dsp that I happen to love both sides of.
I teamed it with Early Espresso and old olive cardstock. The early espresso is also the coredinations cardstock so wonderful for distressing.
Next to start adding focal images…
A real hotchpotch of stuff going on… scraps of vellum, die cuts, images from magazine kits and embossing. I had so much fun popping images and scraps from the desk in with these.
So then I started assembling and decided I wanted sewing to feature on most with the quilted type paper as the inspiration. So I added machine stitching to most but not all and the started with the assembling and finishing off.
So I started with some images leftover from making cards magazine…
These first two don’t have any sewing but instead added some twine and ribbon. The next two however have sewing and the lovely cute images.
Now I move onto my fave stamp set… petal palette…
More die cutting and vellum and embossing and some pretty cards were created.
And finally three different cards … the gorgeous watercolour wings…
This one I created some inchies using the butterfly basics stamp set and heat embossed in clear the post script background stamp on the early espresso cardstock.
The last one uses a die of the white rabbit as a focal point. I adore this die and it was gifted to me by a kind friend… thanks M xxx
So there we have it… all of the cards from my one sheet wonder! Hope you enjoyed them as much as I did making them.
Such fun playing with this paper!
Happy crafting!
