Hello Sunshine / Twisted Sketches # 154

We've hit the middle of the week, which means it is time for a new sketch and "twist" over at Twisted Sketches!

This weeks "twist" is cloth and I have to say it was a challenge for me to figure out what I was going to do. It is good to get that push to think outside of the box though. After a lot of mulling over, the sketch, for some reason, inspired me to think sunshine so I decided to make a sun out of fabric.

I ironed some heat and bond onto the back of a 7" piece of fabric, then I cut a 6" circle out of it with my Cameo. I then ironed the circle onto my cardstock. I tore a bunch of strips from the same fabric and cut them at different lengths for the suns rays. I then zig zag stitched the rays onto the cardstock. A bit labor intensive, but I am happy with the result.

The title and the kite were also cut out with my Cameo using Silhouette Studio cut files. I tore the edges of the cloud paper strip for a distressed look. I also added a little ink and some magic mesh pieces to the cardstock base.

Supplies used: cardstock - kraft, blue, yellow, red, green, black; patterned paper - California by Best Creation; twine, fabric - my stash; ribbon, trim - Jack's World by Cosmo Cricket; Magic Mesh; ink - Gathered Twigs Distress Ink by Tim Holtz for Ranger; Silhouette Studio cut files; sewing machine; Pop Dots.

For my project this week I decided to make a St Patrick's Day card. I took a piece of green cardstock and wrapped ribbon and rick rack around it. On another shade of green cardstock I attached a piece of patterned paper which I had border punched. I took a corner rounder to a smaller piece of white cardstock, paper pierced around the edge, attached three glitter shamrock stickers and a rub on and glued it to the green, patterned paper piece. I attached that to the ribbon wrapped card with pop dots. And viola....

Supplies used: cardstock - white, two shades of green; patterned paper- St. Patrick's by Best Creation; glitter shamrock stickers - dollar bin at JoAnn's; rub on - Kate by American Crafts; ribbon - American Crafs; rick rack - JoAnn's; Pop Dots.
