I love the dreamy & whimsical nature of the colors & fonts used in Ashbury Hill, so I focused on the word "dream" and created two sweet love cards. They are full of pink & different shades of green & gold...and I just love them!
Supplies:Market Street - Ashbury Heights: shimmer paper, dotted paper, 6x6 paper pad, chipboard elements, chipboard buttons, decorative brads, mixed bag diecuts, enamel dots, 3x4 cards;Necessities - Metallic: decorative tape; Now and Then - Mildred: alpha/word stickers.
For both cards I layered papers & journal cards together, and used stitching & foam adhesive to give the cards more dimension. I also slanted the sentiments on both of them to give it that eclectic, "thrown together" handmade feel...even though I very strategically placed every item. Lol!
For the first card I cut the card base from the "Ashbury Heights" shimmer paper. After cutting a block of polka dot paper & a scalloped border strip, I layered them together, then accented with a glittered paper strip & tied twine around the bottom. I layered this entire block to the top of the card with a doily diecut, popping the paper block with foam adhesive. I tucked a tab under the left side of it, then accented with twine threaded chipboard buttons. I added a little sentiment strip & brad to the bottom of the journal card, then accented the card with enamel dots.
For the second card I started with a blush cardstock base. I layered a vellum & aqua paper block together, then adhered the "Dream" journal card to the top with washi tape strips. After adding some zig-zag stitching to the front, I adhered it to the card base. I added the chipboard embellishments to the front, then finished the sentiment with tiny alpha stickers. I finished it off my accenting it with enamel dots!
These new collections have ignited my crafty mojo A LOT, so I would highly suggest you add some of the Market Street goodies to your stash. They have literally filled me with inspiration! Thanks for checking out my cards, and I hope that you have a wonderful rest of your day!
