Digi Chairs

This card was created for a challenge over at the Moxie Fab World. It wasn't a winner, but the challenge was fun. The background was created with embroidered satin stitch in orange and blues. The chair is an image from the Relax Set available for purchase at my Etsy store. The image was flipped to create a second chair facing the opposite way. This little chair lends itself to many different types of cards. Scroll down for other ideas. And for a fabulous masculine card, using the teacup and cookies image (another image in the Relax set), please visit Alma's blog.

An Anniversary Card

Here is another example using the chair image. (available at my Etsy store)The image was printed on designer paper (flipped for the blue chair printout). I then stamped the chairs using a screen stamp, to give a little texture, before cutting them out. This was a fun and easy card to make. The strips of designer paper give the illusion of lots of layers, without the expense. (Bonnie...I CASE'd the card you gave me! thanks!)

Card Base...kraft paper cut 11 1/2 x 4 1/4, scored and then the top layer trimmed off about 3/4".
Designer Papers...Lemonade by Basic Grey
Chairs...printed onto Lemonade by Basic Grey, stamped with screen stamp,(Prima Marketing Inc.), cut out and affixed to card with pop ups
Scalloped Border...Used a corner rounder with the guide removed to punch the scallops one at a time
Button...PTI leaf green
Gold Thread...from my stash
Sentiment...Dollar Stamp from Michael's
