"You Don't Have to Be Perfect"
- What I love about this card is that it shows off both sides of a double sided patterned paper.
- I used Anchors Aweigh 108 for this card as I wanted to make a masculine themed card.
- Cut your cardstock at 5 1/2 x 5 1/4" and score at 1" on the 5 1/4" side.
- The patterned paper is cut at 4 x 5 1/4".
- Ink all edges with Deep Sea PowderPuff Chalk Ink on both sides.
- Adhere the patterned paper to the 1" tab and that completes the card base.
- I stamped the sentiment with Cool Gray PowderPuff Chalk Ink
- Then, inked the punched circle with Deep Sea PowderPuff Chalk Ink and added faux stitches with a gray marker.
- To embellish the card, I added some blue fiber and a blue heart button.

"Spring Showers Patchwork"
- I adhered the squares on a piece of cardstock for placement only.
- Once I cut out the size I wanted for the card, I inked all edges with Key Largo PowerPuff Chalk Ink.
- Then I did something pretty cool! I couldn't find a ribbon/twine/fiber with a color that coordinated so I inked a long length of white string with the Key Largo PowderPuff Chalk Ink pad - so cool!
- I applied it twice to get the full coverage I desired, and wow! This opens up lots of new opportunities!
- I added flat back pearls to each intersecting corner, a bit of lace under the string and done.
