Here is my second swap card for Milwaukee. I only have to make 10 of these (9 for the swap and one for Rhonda!). I wanted to use the bulk buys that SU has made available to us. The chipboard star and the rub-on are from that. I'm still not 100% in love with this one. Something isn't quite right, and I can't put my finger on it. One thing I'm going to change is to make just a knot in the ribbon instead of tying it. I think that will help. I'm open to suggestions, but I need them quickly!Supplies (all SU): Stamps: It's Your Birthday, Priceless, Rough Texture jumbo wheel; Paper: Prints Pack (hostess), Kraft, Night of Navy, Real Red; Ink: Night of Navy classic and craft, More Mustard craft; Accessories: Real Red striped grosgrain ribbon, 1 1/4" square punch, small star punch, On Board Simon Upper chipboard, Anchored rub-ons
Happy stamping!
I like it. It is kind of preppy. What about switching out the paisley paper with just plain cardstock or something simpler?
ReplyDeleteI like it, and I'd swap with you for it. Have a great time at the regional, I am jealous because I've never been to one!!!!
ReplyDeleteTotally love the striped grosgrain with the stars - so patriotic! So, going with that-how 'bout more blue? Keep the top red, add more blue at the bottom? Or change the star center to blue? Either way, it's a beautiful card and I would absolutely swap for it!
ReplyDeleteThat star is great. I hope we get more bulk buys, it made it so much easier to plan a fun workshop.
