Creative Nugget: Since it's time for many students and teachers to head back to school, I chose Reading Rhubarb, a Sweet 'n Sassy digi image, as the subject for my card, but turned Rhubarb into Rhubarbette by adding a skirt and a bow. The skirt was made with a piece of ruffled ribbon with the top ruffle cut off and adhered to a piece of button twine for the little waist band. The image was colored with copic markers. The frame was made with rectangle nesties and buttons strung with Baker's twine. Easy-peasy...but oh so cute! The circle part of the sketch was layered onto a fleur de lis motif die from Spellbinders. The frame and the circle were then layered onto a piece of Cosmo Cricket DP. I had so much fun making the button frame that I decided to do another one.
Now it's your turn to grab some fibers and this week's sketch and join the fun! There's even a chance to win the "Seeing Spots" clear stamp set from the Sweet 'n Sassy Store! While you're at it, don't forget to stop over at The Sweet Stop and see what the other Sugar Babies have done. You will be amazed at all the creative ways to use fibers on your cards! Thanks for spending some time with me today...just as the sentiment on my sketch card says...you my friends are such a blessing to me! Thank you for your many kind comments. Have a wonderful weekend!
