Hello! Just wanted to share this card I made for one of the new release challenges for ippity, yesterday. Heather challenged us to use fabric, canvas, or tulle on our project. I have oodles of counted cross stitch linen and aida canvas. Needlepoint and counted cross stitch are hobbies I haven't visited in a long time. I am still waiting for my new ippity releases to get here, but I used the Live Simply set for my card. I love the folk art feel of this set. I stitched around the aida cloth with red embroidery floss. I added some gingham Offray ribbon. The rusty metal star is actually something that fell off of one of my Christmas decorations this year, so I thought to save it for a project. I distressed the edges of my paper and added a heart button from my stash. I used black Staz on ink to stamp my willow tree onto the fabric. I had to try this twice, because the first one was too light. You really need to press very hard to get a dark image, even with the black ink. I believe it is because this cloth is kind of bumpy.
Guess what? I won a free {ippity} T-shirt last night for this challenge card! HOORAY! :D
Thanks for stopping by! I will be adding the new ippity releases to my ippity page sometime today for ordering!
