Laugher is the Shortest Distance ....

I have combined two challenges for my card today,  The Deconstructed Sketch and The Paper Players.  The challenge at The Paper Players is in honour of National Earth Month and the challenge is to use a recyled or re-purposed item in our project. 

We could use a button, a tag, some ribbon or get really creative and look at packaging and wrappings.  I decided to use packaging that my latest craft order came in and created a heart from a piece of a cardboard box.  I pulled the layers apart to expose the corrugated cardboard and using a Heart framelits die I cut out the small heart.

The DSP is from the Print Poetry paper pad.  Colour scheme of Crumb Cake, Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit and Very Vanilla.

Ribbon is Crumb Cake Seam Binding and Linen Thread with a Neutrals button.  Stamp set used is Feel Goods.  Three rhinestones were added to finish my card.

The challenge this week at Dynamic Duos is Monochromatic Teal Blues.  The challenge is to create a card, scrapbook page, craft or digital project using the two colours in the challenge.  Neutrals such as black, white, vanilla, skin colours and kraft can also be used.

On my card I have used DSP from "Twitterpatted", "Sycamore Street" and the "Neutrals" paper stack along with Basic Black, Pool Party, Island Indigo and Whisper White cardstock.

I have doodled the edging around the base mat in Basic Black and distressed the edges of all the DSP and the middle sentiment piece with the Distressing Tool.  The free ribbon from the sale-a-bration is perfect for this card, I have used Basic Black Tafetta Ribbon along with the Island Indigo and Pool Party Satin Ribbon to create the first bow.  I then created another bow using Linen Thread and tied the button onto the bow with the Linen Thread.

The little flags on the bottom of the Basic Black DSP were made using Island Indigo cardstock and the largest banner in the Bitty Banners Framelits set.  These were also distressed and then cut in half and adhered to the bottom of the DSP.

The sentiment is from the "Feel Goods" stamp set in the new Seasonal Catalogue and I have finished my card off with three rhinestones.
