Whilst looking through my stamp sets I found a set of Penny Black Hedgehogs that haven't been used for ages, love these cheeky fun images and thought I would use them in conjunction with this fabulous White Linen card from papermill direct. which is from their 'Essentials' range, to create a Design Team project for them. (materials list, links and challenges entered are at end of post).
For my card I chose the popular White Linen and teamed it with bright Raspberry pink. I scored and folded the White Linen to create my card blank, and to die-cut with a scalloped circle and a lattice trellis background die. I love the versatility of the Linen Card, and the texture is subtle but makes a big difference to the overall look of your projects.
I like to stamp and colour onto Linen Card too, and that is what I did with my little Penny Black hedgehog stamp. I also stamped a greeting of 'Have a Wonderful Day' onto the linen and die-cut it into a little tag. My image was coloured with pro-markers and some stickles glitter glue was added to the centre of the flowers to give a little sparkle. 4 white card candis and a raspberry ribbon provide the finishing touches.
I think Linen card really is an 'essential' part of every paper crafters stock. It can have lots of uses from formal through to fun creations.
Tomorrow I will show a card that features another of the 'essentials' so I do hope you will pop back. I would love to hear any comments or feedback and I am always happy to answer any questions. Happy crafting!!

I love the stamp - he is a real cutie! I also like the texture the linen card adds. It's not something I have used before and now I might have to invest ion some :-)
ReplyDeletethank you :) I love stamping on the white linen, I've also stamped on the rich cream linen when I made the Indian girl for the teepee card, it added a nice base colour for me to colour over top with promarkers. btw They do have a section on the website where you can request up to 10 samples (DL size) for £1 (free shipping), brilliant way to try out the textures and colours first.
