Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones and/or friends. It's time to put away my Christmas stamps!
I decided to make something for PTI's December 2013 Blog Hop.
I combined the inspiration challenge with Colour Q #221, hence the unusual color combo... and this is what I came up with:
While I didn't get creative with the 'tie it or wrap it around' part of the challenge, I did use Hemp Twine and did my messy thread thingy...
I only used one stamp set and no tools! Other than scissors and my paper-cutter! Simple, but elegant... don't you think? I picked the middle picture with it's blue hues and brown colors... and the stripes from the bottom left picture...
Thanks for stopping by,
Monika
Stamps: Hands of Time clear stamp set (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Soft Suede, Baja Breeze, Night of Navy (SU!)
Paper: White (Georgia Pacific), Kraft (The Paper Company)
Embellishments: thread, Hemp Twine, button (SU!), washi tape, candy dots
Monika, this is an awesome design! I so love Papertrey Ink and your card is a show stopper. Congratulations on this win!

Love your "messy thread thing" - gives a nice base/contrast to the heavier twine!

Great card Monika. Love the simplicity of the design and the colour combo. Your enamel dots, twine and thread are the perfect embellishment.
