Just Because

Hi there friend!  Thanks for stopping by today!  Just sharing a card I made using the latest Tuesday Trigger, Skirting the Issue.  I also incorporated Erin Lincoln's newest Make-It Monday challenge, selective inking!  Fun fun!


For my card I started by using the Linen & Canvas Impression plate on my Vintage Cream card panel.


To duplicate the ruffles of the skirt and the colors within it, I pleated different colors of cardstock, and finished it off with a matching button threaded with twine.  I then adhered my panel to a Fine Linen card base.


Lastly, I die cut a Fillable Frame #7 and stamped it with its coodinating stamp in Ocean Tides, along with a sentiment from Giga Guidelines in Berry Sorbet.  I inked "Because" first and stamped, then "Just" and stamped that right over top and to the right a bit.  Of course I added one more button!



Here is the inspirational pic:



I hope you were inspired today!  I really appreciate your visits, have a great one!
