Hope you will stop over at Craft-Dee BowZ and check out their inspiration posts.
Since it's the 1st Tuesday of the month, it's my turn to share an inspiration project.
The Craft-Dee BowZ challenge has already started and will be running until September 30
. I've been working on Christmas cards for a while., (I am preparing for a show in Cincinnati in November.) so I decided to take a break from Christmas and work on a birthday card.
Let me share my inspiration piece
and I hope it gives you some ideas to design a card or two.
This is my version of a clean and simple card.
And this is about as CAS as I can get.

Let me share my inspiration piece
and I hope it gives you some ideas to design a card or two.
This is my version of a clean and simple card.
And this is about as CAS as I can get.
On a white panel, I stamped the image in the center and without reinking,
I huffed onto the stamp and stamped the image again to the left of the original image.
Next, I huffed one more time and stamped again to the right of the original image.
I used a stamp with dots on it to add some additional interest.
I mounted the stamped panel on a raspberry panel.
I made my bow and attached it to the corner of this panel.
Next, I cut a larger panel and used an embossing folder to add texture and attached the stamped panel on top.
Finally, I attached all these panels to the front of the card.
Here is a closer view of my bow.
I used a 1/2" sheer ribbon.
I actually made a single loop bow and then stacked a smaller single loop bow
on top of the first bow
I then attached the stacked single loop bows onto the corner of the stamped panel.
The prize will be 1 digital set
Don't forget,
the challenge theme is always
Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow
