Material Girl

Hi everyone! Today's card uses papers from the Material Girl collection by Cosmo Cricket. I just loved the patterns in the paper and thought the flower from Feel the Sun would look great paper pieced on the gingham prints. I also played with my new Tim Holtz Alterations Styled Labels die. I just love the shape of it and quickly hand cut a mat for it, before sponging with Antique Linen ink and adding a little dotted border. The sentiment is the Flowers of Tomorrow plain jane and I finished off the card with some lace, pearls, a little Cinnamon Stickles and an organdy bow that's aged by heating with my heat gun until the ribbon starts to curl.

What's In It?
Stamps: Feel the Sun, Flower of Tomorrow Plain Jane (Verve Stamps)
Paper: Material Girl DP (Cosmo Cricket), Chocolate Chip, Cream CS
Ink: Stormy Sky, Crushed Olive, Antique Linen, Vintage Photo (Ranger Distress Ink)
Accessories: lace trim, ribbon, Cinnamon Stickles, pearls, Styled Labels Die (Bigz Alterations line by Tim Holtz), heat gun, corner rounder
