I’m still using some of the teabags I saved to stamp backgrounds on. I had made this background using Unity Worn Music Background stamp a few months ago. I needed a card for my aunt who used to be involved in primitive camping/rendezvous and loved arts, music and refurbishing antiques. I decided to use this background, not only because she would like it, but also because I had rotator cuff repair surgery and only have one arm I can use. Having pre made backgrounds for card making is so helpful when you are in a hurry or medically compromised. I had already stamped the Dogwood flower image before surgery, so I just had to color it with Copics. It is a woodblock stamp from Inkadinkadoo. My mom (my aunt’s sister) loved dogwood trees. We had one in the backyard of our family home. It was white. There was a dogwood tree across the street that was pink that I always admired, so I went with pink. The Clebel tref die is from Cas-ual Fridays (out of business). I added a piece of homemade washi tape made using a napkin below the lace (can’t really see in the photo). Lace is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I thought about trying to stamp a sentiment and die cutting a sentiment strip, but it’s just too hard right now. I wrote her a note but didn’t write on the card itself so that she can use it to send to someone else if she wants.
I’m entering my card in the following challenges:
