Mixed Media Monthly Mid-Month Inspiration Post - Rustic Card

The theme this month over at The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge is "Rustic." The design team were all sent very generous goodie boxes from our sponsor Canvas Corp Brands. Some of us had so much stuff we decided to make another project. So be sure to check the blog for some more amazing "Rustic" inspiration. Then, come play with us. Our random winner will get a $25 Canvas Corp Brand gift certificate.

I made a card using some beautiful 7Gypsies papers. I cut some flowers from the paper and adhered them with pop dots. I used my CCB lace by cutting it in half and dyeing it with my Tattered Angels Shimmer Mist. I cut some of my CCB yellow burlap into the shape of a tag and used words from my 7Gypsies paper. Finally, I created a bow with their pink twine, which I am totally in love with!!

Vintage Back to School

I made this card for the current Simon Says Stamp and Show Anything Goes Challenge. I decided to use this cool Tim Holtz Report Card sticker and give the card a school theme since back to school is almost here! Jax Miller gave me that super 7 Gypsies alphabet tape that I thought added to the school theme. Thanks Jax!


Occasionally I make cards with a vintage feel. I don't usually share them here, because I send most of them to Stampers Sampler and I need to wait to see if they get picked up for publication. However, I do have a "vintagey" circus card that will be published in the September issue of Paper Crafts Magazine - so check it out. 


Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!!
