Just Because

Hi everyone, today I'm continuing the Just Because theme at Card A Day Blog.  For todays card I used the sketch from Mojo Monday and the Technique from Splitcoast Stampers.

I started by stamping my image onto white card stock and trimming it down. I colored the image in then matted it onto black card stock.    I then layered this onto the background paper.  From the silver paper I used the Double Arches border and topped this with a piece of black seam binding.  I made the yellow ruffled ribbon by stringing on yellow pony beads. I have a lot of pony beads so I will have to do this technique more often.

Thanks for stopping by.

Splitcoaststampers has the flat backed treat box as this weeks tutorial and I thought I would give it a try.  I used the Lattice die from Stampin' Up behind my front. I keep a bunch of them pre-cut so that I can add them quickly to a project. I wrapped some seam binding around the lattice die and added a side bow.

I'm using a digital image by Dearie Dolls instead of stamping for the front of my card.  I have the image on pop up dots for some additional dimension.

I added a silk sunflower to the top of the candy box.

 

I stamped my sentiment onto white cardstock and made it into a banner for the front of the box.  I added a button with thread to finish off the banner. 

Thanks for stopping by.
