Just Because
As you all know Friday is my favorite day to participate in challenges.....Beate has a Sketch and Sharon is asking for "Fun Flaps" - go and check them out!!!
As I was looking at both of them I knew I could combined them - somehow....!!!
Since I already had the "Simple Delights" in my hand I just stuck with it....and this is what I came up with....
My layout was based on Beate's WSC #38. I started with Chocolate Chip as my main CS. Then I layered it with River Rock and Chocolate Chip again. All corners were punched with the "Ticket Corner" Punch.
Then I cut the "Brocade Backgrounds" DSP in
1 3/4" x 2 1/2" pieces and also punched out the corners with the "Ticket" Punch and adhered them to my CC CS. I used the "All in a Row" on the edges to give it a stitched impression - saw that on Beate's card and I have never tried it before and I like it....just make sure you use your"Stamp-A-Ma-Jig" with it!!!
After I placed the DSP onto the CS I added some medium Copper Eyelets on the bottom right hand and attached some "Pearlgems" on top.
Next step was to create a "Fun Flap" from Sharon's challenge...I used a River Rock CS and cut it 2 1/4" x 5 1/2". Then scored it at about 2 7/8". The "Slit" Punch was used on the bottom of the longer side and the shorter side should fit right in.
I stamped the sentiment right above the "Slit" and added a Satin Choco Ribbon. The main image was stamped with the Craft Chocolate Chip Ink and embossed with the clear EP. I also dressed it up with an medium Eyelet and "Pearlgem". I placed the Flap on Stampin Dimensionals before I placed it on a CC CS.
Of course all my layers were raised with Stampin Dimensions....~TFL!!!~

Wow, I guess I missed the All in a Row info. This isn't sewing? WOW!!! Now I have to try it too. Well, I got to get me the stamps first :D
You've also given me a great idea for my slit punch. I don't use it much.
