Torn Paper

I was chatting with a fab friend today whilst we went around Artsfest at Anne Marie Gardens, in Solomons, MD, about how I really struggle to do "messy" and "vintage". I kind of like everything squared up and neat. So the Torn Paper challenge for Card a Day was a little bit of a nightmare.


 

Serene Silhouettes Clear-Mount Stamp SetThis uses a new stamp set called Serene Silhouettes. It's very pretty! I have made this for a friend of mine who has a poorly husband. I'm going to package it up with some cookies for them both. I've also used the new Coredinations SU exclusive paper with the Woodgrain embossing folder. Finally, the ribbon was FREE with this month's Back to Spool promotion. Gotta love free.
As for the card, it's a bit "meh". Next time, I'd raise the sentiment up about 1/3 of the way up the card. I'm not sure I'm a fan of torn paper! :D

  1. This is a gorgeous set! I think the setting with torn paper is great with it. I may need to case this one - with different stamps, of course.

  2. I think it's a very pretty card!The colors are beautiful and I love that textured paper. It's funny though because I can't seem to get away from straight lines myself...although I do love the torn paper technique! I wish I wasn't such a neat nellie...

  4. I didn't like my torn paper card either-but I do like yours. I like the torn paper with the woodgrain embossing folder-they just pair together well.
