Pink Cotton Scraps

Published by notimetostamp at 9:48 am under Crafty Secrets Projects, General Purpose Cards

I made this card for today’s Sketch Challenge at SCS as well as for the Crafty Secrets Challenge that is being run in their forum at SCS. I flipped the sketch on its side and I used a Cotton Scrap by Crafty Secrets, which are my all time favorite product from them. I fell in love with the Cotton Scraps the first time I saw them, and still love them just as much! They are so fun to work with!!! Here’s my card:

The DP sheet used is from Crafty Secret’s Pastel Pad. Rather than use the horizontal strip on the sketch (horizontal when flipped, as I did), I let the lace border that was a part of the DP serve as that portion of the sketch — works for me!!! This is really quite simple, a few layers, ribbon, some pretties, a sentiment and pretty much done! Here’s a close-up of some of the detail:

The pretties up on top arespacerbeads(jewelry making section), adhered with a glue dot, then I applied a Rhinestone to the top. They are so delicate and pretty. Another of the fun little things sent to me by Sabrina — thank you, Sabrina!!! My favorite way to use the Cotton Scraps is to first fringe the edges, then sew my Scrap to a backing piece of cardstock cut a bit larger than the scrap (here I used meandering straight stitches, 3 times around), and then I like to distress the edges of the backing piece with my distressing tool. Then it’s ready to be adhered to the card!

    What a gorgeous card. I love the ribbon and those filigree end caps are such a perfect touch. Sharon I have to say thank you for introducing me to Crafty Secrets cotton scraps in this card. I don’t know how I could have never heard of them before this, but now that I have ………..wow so beautiful……….I have to get some.

    Oh my gosh Sharon, you’ve blown me away with this one, absolutely gorgeous! I forgot I had some Cotton Scraps, if I could make a card look like this, I’d be over the moon with joy. The papers are gorgeous with your bling (I have some of that as well and have never used it . . . LOL!)

    Wow, what a beautiful card Sharon and what a gorgeous idea! I love all the elements on this card and the colours you’ve chosen work so well together.

    Now you’ve got me thinking about cotton scraps - will have to look through my patchwork pieces which I’ve collected over the years but haven’t done anything with! Thanks for sharing!

  25. # NY2TXPATTIon 12 Feb 2009 at 7:40 am

    Very pretty! This ribbon is great with the DP that you used!

  26. # Joan Frickeron 12 Feb 2009 at 7:43 am

    Wow Sharon, this is absolutely stunning! Who would think anyone could takie a piece of a cotton scrap and make it look like this? Everything about this card is just outstanding. Great job!

    Beautiful card Sharon!! Love your pretty fabric scrap! I bought some of these endcaps from Michaels after Laura (scrapnextras) posted a card with them! This is such an enabling addiction, lol!! I just love what you have done here!!!

  28. # Carolenon 12 Feb 2009 at 8:30 am

    Very feminine and pretty!

    Is it the spacer beads behind the rhinestones? If so, where
    do we find them, or whatever they are??? WOW!

  29. # LeAnneon 12 Feb 2009 at 9:04 am

    Just beautiful! I think I have some of those little findings (thanks to you!) so I will have to see what I can come up with like this….cool idea!

    Hello Sharon….I gasped when I saw this card….hasten to add it was a pleasant gasp….oh the look is just wonderful….I am wondering exactly what ‘cotton scraps’ are. I can’t see to find them on Joan’s site. Now I’m wondering is this bits of cotton fabric or is it paper which just happens to be called ‘cotton scraps? Would be grateful for an explanation for a ‘green’ Brit!!!! Thanks. Joyce

  38. # Starla(star)on 12 Feb 2009 at 2:11 pm
