Double D Challenge Blog Tan Neutrals with Texture




Diane has challenged us to Use Tan Neutrals and add some texture to our projects for the challenge this time. Adding texture to a design also gives it a sense of dimension without necessarily adding bulk to the card. There are so many ways to add texture to a card with all the amazing embossing folders, embossing paste. glitter. beads, lace, burlap.... and the list goes on. 


                                  
After I saw this amazing Mood Board,  I went digging through my stash to see what I could use and I found a roll of burlap covered with lace,  a burlap flower,  and a button that would work. 




This card because  was so  quick (five minutes) and easy, but I thought it captured the essence of the mood board.

Supplies:
Gina K Kraft card base
PTI  designer paper
burlap with lace and a burlap flower from the Dollar Store
IO Wheat die.
Buttons from stash.
Ailene's tacky glue.


Head on over to the Double D Blog and look at all the beautiful designs from the team. We are so grateful to all of you for making this blog so successful and fun. Your designs always inspire us. One randomly drawn entry will win  embossing folders that are perfect for adding texture to your designs.

  4. WOW ... 5 minutes? Has the perfection of a lot longer than that! Just gorgeous Kathy and I must say ... your burlap flower looks a whole lot better than my burlap flowers! LOL I think I'll blame it on the fact that I used an older die cutting set! LOL Well done my friend ... awesome inspiration!

  9. This is so pretty. I love the simpleness of it, and the patterned paper is perfect (say that 3 times fast...lol.) I think what I like the most is that plain burlap flower with the wood button, and then the burlap ribbon with the lace. It's just beautiful, you have captured the essence of the mood board wonderfully!!
