It's Saturday already...again...my where does the time go?! Before you know it we'll be making christmas cards. lolBut while we still can - let's enjoy some spring colors. :)
Saturday also means it's time for Jen to bring us another great sketch over at Sketch For You To Try!!!
And what a perfect timing: I just got my order of oval Nesties!! Yay!!
My card here is my twisty interpretation of shabby chic.
Everything on this card is just a little off -
the sentiment and the flap on my oval nestie (the flap was inspired by the fabulous Joanne btw) are both a bit tilted, the stitching is just a bit crooked here and there and the jute twine has a little wave to it.
I also added some rhinestone flourishes and made my own 3D flower embellishment out of two stamped flowers, a button and some jute twine.

My stamped sentiment and the flower are both from my two all-time favorite Verve sets: Beautiful You and Wishful Elegance. The patterned papers I used are all from the Fly a Kite collection by October Afternoon.
Wanna be featured on Jen's Blog as Guest Designer next month? Make something fabulous, upload it to Jen's Blog and stay tuned for Jen to pick you. :)
Until then - are you ready to see what my fabulous SFYTT Sisters have created using this sketch? Stop by their blogs to see for yourself:
