This sketch was a toughy for me,

but I suppressed the "literal" translation

that I so often fall into.

The dotted ribbon is actually a piece of fabric

with the cut edges left raw.

The fabric ribbon is cut to mimic the

beveled edge of the die.

The patterned papers are from

The Girls Paperie.

And the greeting stamp is an

oldie but goody from SU!

My card....

Color blocking and repetition make for an "easy" card.

There's that little notch at the top of the card

to put the lace in place.

The greeting is a rub-on from Stampin' Up!

I had some fun with this one...

contrasting the graphic lines with

lace and a lacey punch.

Then the silver brads and buckle

create a great juxtaposition

to that "softness".

Welcome to another fabby

installment of a

brand new color story from

The Play Date Cafe

This week's sponsor is:

This being my first dive into

the Color Splash, I have to admit

I had a ball.

This is actually just one of three

projects that I made.

I liked my other two,

but this one was my

FAV!

It's a repurposed spice jar.

Lot's of little details. It seems that

the smaller the project, the more I put into it.

Strange, I know. :)

First the heart: I punched several hearts, glued and stacked them. this gave me a "chipboard" type of piece to wrap the twine around. I simply placed a bead of glue around the edges and pressed the twine into place. Adding the greeting and button (shank removed) completes it.

I  added a black button, satin ribbon and a titch of silver cording to finish it off.

Behind the finished jar you can see what the original looked like.

How'd I turn the lid silver? Good question.

Because the lid is metal, I was able to heat it up with my heat tool and then dip it several times into silver embossing powder. I held it with tweezers as to not burn myself on the hot metal. :)
