EYELETS

Today's card was inspired by a challenge on Inkurable Stampers to use eyelets.


I forgot about these cute Tulip eyelets. Think I bought them on ebay. I have a small bag of 100 in white pink and red!

After 'blowing' the dust of my stash of eyelets and brads I also found some small pastel green square eyelets. (looks blue in the photo)
I was excited when I re discovered the bag of pots and water cans brads!

I started with a white piece 4.5x3.5in card stock. Distress ink Tumbled Glass for sky.Darkroom Door Wildflowers VOL2 used for bottom layer and for flower stems.
'Hello' from String Sentiments set.

Matted this on a 5x4 black piece of card then a pink folded card.

No, I was not drinking at the same time! I chose to mat them on an angle for an interesting and fun look :)

Thank you Sarah for inspiring me to dig out my eyelets!

I feel another creation using eyelets coming soon :)

  5. That is so cute. Isn't it amazing what we can find in our stash that gets forgotten about, all those gorgeous little brads etc.
    PS Are you sure that you hadn't had even the one little drinkie, I couldn't find the 'angel' in the photo then realised what you meant LOL
