Scarlet in Green

Since I've been invited to a new DT over at Sliekje's Cards Challenges along with my new appointment at Shelly's Images, I have decided to extend the deadline for my blog candy to May 31st. If you haven't taken a look at it yet you can find all the details on my Celebration Blog Candy Post.

Before I show you my card today, I want to show you what Geraldine from Little Snippets sent me for Pay It Forward! It's a beautiful little handmade cloth basket! She also sent some gorgeous embroidery embellishments. Her card has lovely crochet and needlework. You can buy some of her creations at her Etsy Shop.

I took on the Pay It Forward challenge by entering a comment at her blog and promising to send handmade items to the first 5 people to comment on my Pay It Forward page. If you want to play along, please visit my Pay It Forward post and leave a comment.

This is my favorite Bugaboo lady, Scarlet. My papers are from K & Company. My buttons and Sage Luster Twine are from Pizzazz Aplenty. I used hand stitching inside and out for this card. The flower on the front is a burnt edge flower (tutorial). I used fabric from a shirt I found at a rummage sale. This is a great, inexpensive way to find fabric for your flower making. I also layered tulle between the polyester. The center was again made with my I-Top. I just love this tool!

The sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Design's Gratitude Set. I used my Dahlia Nestie to cut these flowers and I placed burnt edged tulle between the layers and behind the sentiment.
