More Kraft

 Good morning all!  More play time with Kraft card and I am loving it!  I can't seem to get enough of it, either plain or patterned.  This was a really quick sample that I made to showcase the holly accents and motifs.  I cut out the motif in the centre of my patterned kraft card, keeping the negative piece as my background.  I used the die cut piece also, but rotated it a quarter of a turn so that the pattern was offset.  I used black glitter card in the background just to give it a touch of bling.  I cut one of the smaller holly accents in black for a centre piece.  I stamped a sentiment using black archival ink directly on to the kraft card (a bit busy but still readable). I sewed around the edge on the card.  I haven't had a lot of experience with a sewing machine, but since my Mom had one handy I decided to give it a go.  I rather like the results so you may have to see if I improve at all over time!

 I used some Bakers twine as a accent around the card and added a black button.  I pulled the twine through the button and tied a final bow.  I added some faux stitching with a fine tipped black marker to the outside kraft mat.  All in all a really simple card for any occasion or any recipient.  I hope you can get some inspiration from it. 

I don't often do two posts in a day, but I have another post later this afternoon with some pictures from CHA.  If you are interested, pop back by at 3pm.  All for now, Sue x
