I'm back with another card that got rejected from the latest Paper Crafts Magazine call.
The theme of this call was "canvas," meaning that we had to use canvas in some way in our project. I had some scrap canvas lying around, so I decided to put it to use. Here's what I came up with.
I stamped this gorgeous holly image from Starving Artistamps in brown ink on my piece of canvas. Before cutting it out, I glued it to some thick cardstock, to give it a little stability. Gluing it on the cardstock helped to keep the edges fraying on it, too.
The rest is pretty self-explanatory. I just stitched around the edge of a layer in floss, popped a couple more layers on and added a scalloped border that I cut from cork using a die from Papertrey Ink. Then I tied on a twine ribbon, added some buttons and the sentiment from the same stamp set, and it was done.
REJECT! :) Oh well. At least I have a holiday card done now. One down, 100-some to go! ;)
To see some of the other projects that got the stamp of rejection, you can head on over to Amber's blog. She's hosting a reject blog hop. Pretty amusing (and some great cards! I'm in good company!).
Enjoy your weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
