The challenge this month is to show some love to some neglected PTI stamps. ALL of my stamps have been neglected lately, so this wasn't a very hard challenge, lol.
What I did here...is created some fun felt hair clips for my daughter's friend, and decided to incorporate them into her birthday card. I die cut the star shapes out of PTI Chocolate and Raspberry felt, then I attached the two bitty dot Hawaiian Shores 'tails' to the star with a little scor tape, to hold them in place, while I sewed the star layers together and onto to the alligator clip that was wrapped with Hawaiian Shores twill. Cute, right?
I used the Outlines Alphabet to create a background for the Raspberry layer. Now -- I see some of the 8's are kind of 'glowing' in my photos...creepy, yes. But I can assure you, this is not how the card looks to the naked eye! After stamping my background, I used my Fillable Frames #3 die and stamp set to stamp my sentiment on (which is from Birthday Bash Sentiments). Behind it, are 3 strips of rickrack, cut with the rickrack die. They are adhered to the card front at the top, middle, and bottom. This allows me to clip the clips onto the card, incorporating them into the design!
I loved the way this came out, and honestly, while DD was excited to give this to her friend, I could see she wanted to keep it for herself, lol.
Thanks for popping by!! Make it a GREAT day! :)
