Mummm, yummy! Just look at this delicious new paper that we just got inhttp://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/swingzfoldcard/ the boutique! I've made a huge investment to bring in a great selection of the wonderful Maja Design papers from Sweden. This is my first project using them and they are marvelous!
We are kicking off another two-week challenge over at Frilly and Funkie. This time it's Sue's turn to be our host and her challenge is all amount trying a new fold for a card or other paper crafting project. I made a swing Z fold card. Beate Johns ha a fantastic tutorial over at Splitcoast Stampers. You can find it here.
I seem to be pretty darn hooked on that Strips and Dots Wendy Vecchi stencil, especially when used with Aged Mahogany distress ink. So I used that and the polka dotted side to give my matting paper a bit of kick. I roughed up the edges pretty good and sponged them all with Vintage PHoto DI. I followed the tutorial except I used more layers and consequently it was pretty difficult to cut the swing piece. If I every make one again, I'll try to remember to cut down on the layers.
The flower is made from canvas cut with the Mini Tattered Florals M&S dies and stained with Victorian Velvet DS. The rhinestone button, the copper filigree and the jute ribbon are all from the Funkie Junkie Boutique.
