Fringed Background Greeting Card

 

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. I created this card to join in Newton's Nook latest challenge which I linked below. The card idea I have for the challenge is too hard to pass up. Thankfully, I finished this card on time for the challenge.

I am using crepe paper for the fringe background. I used a fringe die for this. For the oval piece, I adhered the yellow fringe die cuts to a scrap piece of paper before die cutting this panel with an oval die. For the rectangular panel, I added small dots of glue to the fringe die cuts. I adhered it to a yellow cardstock cut at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I poked holes on the upper portion of the fringe, and add sewing details using a gold embroidery floss. I layered the fringes starting from the bottom piece. I was going to use my sewing machine to sew the fringes to the cardstock but it was not cooperating so I just handsew it. 

For the image, I stamped the koala on a watercolor cardstock. I colored this with watercolor crayons. I fussy cut the image leaving a white border around it. The koala is from the Newton Nook's Pina Coala stamp set.

For the sentiment, I stamped this on a strip of watercolor paper. I add a wash of color to match the color of the fringes. I die cut these sentiments using a banner die. The sentiments are from the NN Pina Coala stamp set and the NN Summer Treats stamp set. 

I adhered the die cuts and the image to the panel using a strong liquid adhesive.

I love the texture the fringed crepe paper added to the design of the card. How about you? Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
