Post-It Purple Fun

Thanks to Kari (from the Lawn Fawn Design Team) for her great idea of using acrylic stands/photo frames in this really fun way - by turning them into Post-It Notes holders!

Admittedly, I didn't have any such acrylic stands lying around,  but that didn't stop me - and a trip to the stationery store was quickly made. Armed with a couple of 4" x 6" acrylic stands and some colourful neon 3M Post-It-Notepads, patterned papers, ribbons, punchers, stamps and die-cuts, embossing powders, colouring medium and some rhinestones blings, I was on my way into fun land!

The cute little birds come from Paper Smooches - Chubby Chums stamp set, whilst the 'have faith' sentiment comes from Paper Smooches - Spiritual Sampler stamp set. Since my post-it pad was neon purple, the selection of the orange and purple patterned paper (including the hexagon layered die-cuts - using Hero Arts -Geometric Shapes Frame Cuts), lilac ribbon, and colour choice for the two little birds was obvious!

This altered project is entered for this week's Paper Smooches SPARKS - April 20-26 Anything Goes (Wk 3) challenge.

Supplies used:

friends are special gifts

ovals and more ovals - that's the theme for CAS-ual Fridays CFC130 Challenge: Good Egg

- a lovely shade of lilac patterned paper affixed on the base white card stock, which had been cut using Lawn Fawn's Large Stitched Journaling Card die cut - I love the detailed stitching lines round the edges!
- this was followed by a white strip of paper and some silver threads affixed and tied from end to end at the bottom third section of the card
- the centre oval royal purple card was first embossed and then lightly dusted with VersaMark Ink before sprinkling a light sheen of embossing powder - heat-embossed to bring out the beautiful contrasted details
- another oval white card was affixed behind the purple card but offset slightly
- the sentiment stamp is a beautiful stamp from JustRite - Special Gifts Labels set - stamped in VersaFine Imperial Purple and heat-embossed before affixing to the card with mounted foam tape
- finished off with a little flower embellishment at the side and some pearls at the top left corner
