From My Couch to Yours

Good morning everyone!  How's the middle of the week for you?  Mine?...well I thought this cold was gone but it came back with a vengeance for me this morning straight to my sinuses.  Luckily the kids are recovering well. Hopefully, like the week, this is just the climax and then I can actually get some things done around here. 

Here's the results I got a few nights ago for the newest Card Patterns sketch.  I really liked this unique sketch and these longer cards seem to take less time to layout and embellish.  
The paper is from My Mind's Eye and it matched perfectly with my SU! Flower Burst embosslit.  The Flower was turned more into a funky button by punching two holes into it and threading linen thread through and tying.  The couch was stamped in black ink on More Mustard and adhered with dimensionals. With the colours and less focus on the flowers I think it could also be used for a masculine card.  Either way it's a fabulous card to give to a friend or even your significant other :)

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are having a wonderful day.  Happy crafting!

Paper:  MME dp, Going Gray, More Mustard, Very Vanilla
Ink: Basic Black
Accessorries: Flower Burst embosslit, linen thread, 1/16" hole punch, dimensionals
Stamps: On My Couch (PTI)

  3. Great idea to use the embosslit flower kind of like a button. I'll have to remember to try that sometime! Nice card!

  5. That paper really is perfect with the embosslit.
    I always love your cards with that comfy couch and the addition of the flower as a 'button' is so sweet. Great as always, Laural!!
