A happy hello to my fellow crafters! I'm so happy to be here with you to share a project I created for the Maja Design Blog! I'm playing with my Denim and Friends papers again. I can't seem to get enough of them.
I adore the distressed barnwood pattern in the new paper collection. It takes me back to childhood summers at my aunt and uncle's farm. My sister and I stayed with them a week or two out of each summer, which was a real treat for us. It was so cozy. Life revolved around the workings of the farm, and everyone had a part to play. My sister and I were charged with the daily picking of the strawberries and helping set the tables for the communal lunch. When we were left to our own devices we especially loved exploring in the barn, which always seemed to have a couple of bird nests and an assortment of cats and kittens to cuddle and love on. It was a simple and joyful time. This card is inspired by those memories and the happiness they bring to my heart.
The center flower is handmade from the Vintage Autumn Basics paper collection. Can you tell I recently baked up a batch of wildflowers? I've been using them quite a bit lately. The butterflies are stamped on design paper then fussy cut. A little nest and a few rose petals are hiding in there as well.
The sentiment is stamped onto design paper. Hand punched lace is is tucked randomly around the edges.
You'll find additional stamping and a splattering of acrylic paint on the design paper.
Each paper is distressed, layered, and stitched together.
