Sunday Playtime - "Thinking of You"

It's been a nice, lazy Sunday morning for us here at Camellia Cottage. And, though that is about to change for the rest of the day because I need to empty the dishwasher and start filling it up again, and get things going toward tonights dinner, I wanted to share with you what I've made today.


I used Bazzill cardstock as the base, and a wild paisley in pale greens and purples by Wild Asparagus. I did stitching around the perimeter in a variety of stitches with a dark green thread. For the centerpiece, I took a vintage looking picture of pansies, backed it on a buttery gold cardstock, then stitched around it on three sides to attach it.

I left the top open so I could slide a tag inside. See next picture for that. The tag is made from the same cardstock as the base, with a flourish stamped on using Versamark ink, and heat embossed with clear powder. The flourish stamp is from Autumn Leaves & Rhonna Farrer's 'Flourishes 2' set. I added a gold satin bow to the tag, inked the gold rectangle and stamped it with a tiny 'Thinking of You" stamp, from Kelly Panacci 'Sentiments' by Sandylion. To embellish the bow, I added a pale lavender flower from a piece of costume jewelery.



For other embellishments I used vintage purple velvet ribbon, silk hydrangea blossoms, pearl beads, and an old Avon earring of my grandmother's. I also added a few purple-y rhinestones for a little added texture.

Thanks for coming to visit, and I hope you've enjoyed looking at my latest creation. Blessings to you! Becky
