15 Minute Project ... for a "Tear it Up" Challenge

Pin It



This side-folder 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card was created for Sharon's "Tear it Up" blog challenge. Yes, it IS a 15 Minute project! (PS: Click on the photo for a closer look.)

The card base is Bazzill card stock; I used digital scrapbook paper in a grungy heart theme for my patterned paper. I applied a length of 3/8" wide burgundy grosgrain ribbon across the middle of the card, adhering with double-sided adhesive.

I created the focal point with Maya Road felt flowers, birds, and a branch ... and tore the bottom edge. Just a note: if you want the white core of the paper to show when you tear, tear toward yourself; if you don't want it to show, tear away from yourself.

Tiny gemstones were applied on the flowers adhered to the birds; I used tiny, handmade red flowers for the centers of the flowers along the branch.

Using Palette hybrid ink in 'Noir,' I stamped both sentiments on the digital paper. I used my Word Window punch to cut out the bottom sentiment and matted it with a piece of matching ribbon.

I adhered the focal point mat on the card base using dimensionals ... and that's it!

Ingredients:

~Textured Card Stock: Pomegranate (Bazzill Basics)
