I have to say, I have thoroughly enjoyed designing for Curtsey Boutique these past months, AND if you like crafting with fun vintage inspired goodies and MORE, now could also be your chance because there is an open DT call happening right now! Here is the blog post at Curtsey Boutique with all the deets... CHECK IT OUT!!
In other news... the new May Arts Ribbon DT was announced recently and unfortunately I did not make the cut. It's all good though, because I gave it my best shot and that's really all I could do. I will find something else down the road to occupy my crafty niche, I'm sure of it... I'll just need to keep plugging away! :) With that said... have you all heard that Bella Blvd. has a new DT call open now too for the 2013-2014 term? Hmmm, must say that I was quite pleased to see that. I really wanted to apply last year and the time got away from me. So, I am seriously thinking of giving it a shot this time around. A girl can only hope... I think there products are the absolute cutest around :)
Before I say Good-Night, I will leave you all with a card share. This card I created for our good friends' wedding a few weeks ago and I used some gorgeous Curtsey Boutique embellies.
I wanted this wedding card to have a vintage and homespun look all in one, to emulate the style of my friend's wedding décor and theme. I chose to emboss the background with a vintage floral design and then paired it perfectly with vintage touches of a pink floral fabric strip and a swatch of burlap from Curtsey Boutique. The burlap was actually a section cut from one of the burlap bags. I also cut strips of the burlap from the bag to use on a separate project! And the little bitty hearts... those are cork and I swiped them with some pink chalk ink.
Other supplies used include-
Anna Griffin floral Cuttlebug emboss folder and machine
Cricut Sweethearts cartridge and machine
Core'dinations cardstock
Clearsnap chalk ink (pink)
Ranger Perfect Pearls Mist (Heirloom gold)
FloraCraft Diamond Dust glass glitter
