Spirelli - and More Card Parts

Cheryl has been doing some Spirelli lately, and I keep thinking I would like to do a little bit, also. I finally remembered! I used a large punch to make the scalloped circle and then I used variegated thread to do the Spirelli on it. The rose and leaves were from my card parts, as was the sentiment. The rose and the sentiment panel are mounted on foam squares.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

This One is Different!

No challenge card for today – this one is all mine. :)

Someone in my Yahoo! group mentioned crocheting flowers. Stampin’ Up! has crocheted flowers in the new catalog, and there was a thread about them on SplitCoastStampers. So, I decided to give it a try and crochet my own. Once I had it done, I didn’t know what to do with it! I decided maybe Spirelli would be a good choice. I used a scalloped circle Nestability to cut my piece for the Spirelli and I used variegated crochet thread. Around the flower I stamped a circle of dots (from Papertrey Ink’s Borders and Corners – Circles) with Versamark and embossed it with Emerald Pearl Lustre embossing powder. I attached the flower to the Spirelli with a brad. I cut the Eggplant Envy layer with a Labels One die. I cut the black square and used a corner rounder. Added a bit of ribbon and a sentiment (from Inkadinkado), and it was done!

Thanks so much for looking, and I hope you’ll come back and visit again soon!
