This card was inspired by the sweet as can be inspiration photo from CR84FN. The country chair and pie in the middle brought to mind a county fair. So I ran with the idea choosing papers and patterns that reflected that for me!
I started with a cherry splash Bazzill cardstock topped with a panel of grid paper from MME. Next came my two panels to follow the sketch using the light blue paper with tiny stars from Pebbles and the gingham/floral paper from The Girls Paperie (I just love this paper to pieces!). I topped these panels with a bit of cherry splash paper cut with pinking shears and stamped with a tiny sprig from Stamps by Judith. The red gingham from October Afternoon is die cut with my PTI: mat stack 4. Two PTI: limitless layers dies top that. The bottom is a very soft pink and the grid circle is stamped with a PTI: tag its #3 vine. I embellished with a bit of machine stitching, a tiny MFT rolled rose, buttons from my stash and an October Afternoon butterfly ~ polka dots...of course!!
Many steps but it brought me many smile. I hope it does you too!! ~Lisa
