Throwback Thursday - Episode 195
Thank You SEW Much!
Hi everyone! It's a cool, rainy night in Kansas which means it's a perfect time to be holed up in my craft room. I saw a fun idea over at My Creative Time (http://www.creativetimeforme.com/) for Emma's Throwback Thursday challenge this time around. You could use any cartridge you liked, but you needed to incorporate the colors GREEN and YELLOW into the project somewhere.
I have been needing to make a thank you card for my hubby's boss for a really nice gift she gave us and thought to myself... "self, this challenge will be perfect!". I saw an idea using patterns and have been wanting to utilize the idea somehow. I think his boss will really love this. I used an old pattern, circa late 1980's bad fashion vest (eek! Do you remember those... wow, what were we thinking?) so I cut out the pocket pattern and used it in this card.
Don't forget to use those old patterns in your cardmaking and other paper projects. It's a great way to repurpose them. They add great texture (you can crumple them up to give dimension, etc) and also add great visual interest. Thanks for looking!
Hugs,
