We have the super talented Linda Coughlin of The Funkie Junkie hosting again this week, and this is her challenge for us:
This week, we are going super simple with just two required ingredients, but they are some of my favorite embellishments - Buttons and Burlap or Bows (must include buttons and either burlap or bows or both)I have certainly been tested in many areas these past couple of weeks (creatively) ... but, you know what, I am loving these directions and am thoroughly enjoying the ride ... I have gone with all three ingredients and this is what I came up with:
Although difficult to see I have layered some die cut burlap flowers in amongst the ribbon and paper flower, shredded some fibres and added them in the layer, a black flourish die from Cherry Lynn and paper from Kaisercraft and finally some distress ink around the edges ... whew!!! Oh, and that lacey edge die is from MFT.
I hope to see your creation in our gallery ... in the meantime, head on over to the Our Creative Corner and check out what our fab DT has for your inspiration pleasure!

Tui this is gorgeous, so many beautiful elements and layers and l love the background "Postcard" effect.
Love, Love this design Tui, The shredded burlap looks amazing and very eye-catching. I can just about see the burlap flower even though it is surreptitiously placed.
Your stamping and layering makes for excellent composition and the palette you have chosen is soft and warm, so it all makes for a beautiful card.
Smiles:)

Thanks so much for picking my Owl card! I was very honored and you made my day :)
Wowsers Tui, Stunning artwork this one. Still not exactly sure what Burlap is. This has such a fantastic, vintage old world charm to it. ooxx
