Well, this challenge looks easy enough - we're to add a "thread nest" to a card. Laura Bassen is known for her "loosey goosey" thread nests - she makes me laugh when she calls it that.
I used my new Brushed Off stamp set for this - I know I'm going to get a lot of use out of this set! On white cardstock I stamped the brushstrokes in Berry Sorbet and Pure Poppy inks and rounded the corners.
Thanks is die-cut three times in True Black cardstock, stacked and glued together. Yes, I love this effect! Before I attached it to the card, I took my silver metallic thread and wrapped it around my hand a few times and let it fall onto the card. I adhered the thanks on top to help the thread stay in place.
When looking at Lauren's card, I saw she used Rainstones....yes, I have those and haven't used them yet so placed a few on the card.

ReplyDeleteYour card turned out great!
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful! I especially like how you arranged the brushstrokes!
ReplyDeleteGreat card, love those brushstrokes!
ReplyDeleteLove how you offset the brushstroke stripes! It reminds me of the American Flag; all it needs is some blue stars and it'd be the perfect design alteration for Independence Day cards! :)
