Tie It Up With Twine!


Hey everyone!  Thanks for stopping by today - we are finally settling into the new house and I cannot wait to have all of my *stuff* unpacked so I can start crafting again.  I'm *almost* there.  This week's challenge at the 4 Crafty Chicks is a fun one.  I'm your hostess-with-the-mostest and my challenge to you is an EASY one - all you have to do is use twine somewhere on your creation.  I don't know about you, but I am in {love} with twine these days and try to use it whenever I can.

For my card, I dug  through boxes and pulled out some of my new Cat's Pajamas stamps - this bunny is soooooo freakin' cute!  I used last week's Colour Q color combo and the Week One Viva la Verve sketch - rotated 180 degrees:




Stamps: Away We Go (The Cat's Pajamas)  Ink: White craft ink (SU!), Onyx Black Versafine  Paper: Basic Gray, Whisper White, Bashful Blue, SU! DSP, A Walk in the Park DSP (Echo Park)  Accessories: Cloud Border die (TCP), Oyster Divine Twine (TCP), Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Seeing Spots embossing folder, paper piercer, chipboard cloud (Maya Road), Dimensionals, Copics (BG01, BG02, BG05, YG03, YG95, N3, N5, N6)

Thanks for stopping by today - I hope to have more frequent posts in the near future...  If you need some more inspiration, please don't forget about the other Chicks - they have some great cards this week.  You can find their links along the side.  Have a great week!
