I have made my own template for this thankyou card, and not without a bit of trial and error, but I'm so pleased with the finished product. Many challenge themes are currently combining Summer and I thought a hat could be appopriate. I've used the colours I love, they emit that vintage, shabby chic feel. There are 2 different ribbons and some lace and the hat pins I made myself. The hat stand is kraft cardstock and given some dimension with copics, (W1 & E31) and the flowers on it are a die cut from a Papermania paper pad.
This card is for the following challenges,The Shabby Tea Room - Summer Fun challenge
(and we know we should all wear hats in Summer)
Whoopsi Daisy challenge - Ribbons & Bows
A Spoonful of Sugar - Sunshine Inspired card
KL Stampin N Scrappin - Let's get Shabby
Hope you like it!
Tracy .... Oh My Shabby GOODNESS! This is one of the most AMAZING things I've ever seen done with paper! And you made your OWN template! Will you be selling this card or selling the template in your shop? I want one!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us all weekly ... and an extra special thanks for sharing this STUNNING creation with us all in the Tea Room :) Tea and hats go GREAT together!!!

ReplyDeleteLike it?! I LOVE IT!! Oh My Sweet Lord, this is AMASING! I have just been looking at it for about an hour now, I just keep on going back for a peek! You are a very tallented lady :O)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it would be ok if I tryed to make a simular card? I would make my own template, and you see my best friend is getting married in the autumn and I have been trying to think of something really special to make for her and hats are so wedding! ( they are in the uk anyway :O) so what do you say? could I lift your idea? I would of course make a link back to your blog telling where I got the fantastic idea from....
Waiting in antisipation...
