Curtain Call Totally Tassel


I'm playing in the Curtain Call Challenge Totally Tassel today. I used the Sweet Sunday sketch 268 also. I have been hesitating to post this all week because I can't decided if this card is pretty or a Hot Mess!!!! When I saw the inspiration photo I thought of my new Winnie and Walter set The Party , which has the fun balloon/paper lantern things with the tassels.

I used various distress inks to water color the images after I stamped and heat embossed in white. Then I die cut that panel with Lil Inkers stitched rectangle die.

Next I focused on the tag die cut with a MFT die. I stamped the present with Momento London Fog ink and again on the polka dot paper so I could paper piece the bow. I added copic marker coloring. I made a homemade tassel from bakers twine and added it to the tag. My thumb messed up my gold embossed sentiment a little, oops, hahaha. I added some white and gold sequins.

  3. Cute and totally fun card. The colors you chose are perfect for it, too! I never would have guessed that you had a "whoopsie" when you stamped the sentiment...because you made it work for you and recovered the card beautifully.
