It's Friday! That probably means something for you working folks. I stay home with the kids and it's summer. I have no idea what day of the week it is anymore!!
So anyway, I have this card today.
I don't typically use soft colors like this.
But I'm playing with Runway Inspired Challenges and this is their inspiration photo:
I'm also using Unity's card sketch for their challenge.
I used sewing thread on the bottom of the card. I think it's much more delicate than twine, and I just really like the look too.
Wanna know a secret? So the backside of my gray paper was white. But I wanted it to be coral on the back for when I folded it over. So I just taped a coral print on the back. It actually adds a little heft to the paper so when you fold it, it stays a bit rolled and doesn't go flat. One more tip - tape the papers together before you cut the panel. Then you won't get that little white edge like I did on the edge of the coral paper.
Thanks for stopping by today!
I hope you enjoy your weekend and stay safe from fires or flooding or whatever may be happening in your area.
