You Are The Best

Again, I wanted to play with my Nature Garden stash. Firstly to see what kind of card I could come up with and secondly because I wanted to tell you who else is on the Gypsy Chick's Design Team. Head over to Frank's Haus of W and you'll find that this amazing guy has heaps of sensational projects to drool over and tutorials to share. I'm in awe of his work and truly I'm inspired by his imaginative collage assemblages in his designs. And yes, he's the newest DT member.

I wanted to go really shabby this time around. I love taking a brush which has been dipped in water and going around the edges of a paper square before crumpling and drying it. Works really well on cards. I've done this on a few scrapbook pages but it does tend to make the finished designs curl up, instead of sitting flat. Something which doesn't happen with cards.

Again, everything I made the card from, can be found on Jodie's Etsy store, except for the circular die shapes, string & twine. And speaking of the twine, I added a swirl of paper string to my design as an hommage to Frank. I've been fascinated by the swirls of twine which loop through his pages but until now, haven't attempted to try it out.

Right, off to devour a healthy (read dull) bowl of muesli for breakfast before deciding what to do with the day.

Have a fun one peeps.
