10 Projects down - 40 to go before I can buy more stuff. :-) For today's project, I'm posting the card I made for the September kit in an envelope (KIAE) swap over at the new message board I'm hanging out on - Artsy Inkers. There is a great bunch of stampers over there.
I think I've explained a KIAE swap before, but if not, or if you've forgotten: you make 2 kits consisting of stuff that will fit in a regular envelope, one to keep and one to send. Then you make at least one project from your kept kit and one from the kit you received. For September's swap, the theme was harvest and the twist is that at least one of the projects had to include a recipe.
The kit items are the stamped background paper, the recipe image and the shrinky dink pie. I stamped the background with Fiskar pumpkin stamps with Versamark ink. The recipe is a stamp by Impression Obsession and stamped with Hero Arts Just Right shadow ink. I trimmed down the recipe and mounted it on a snippet of kraft cardstock. The twine is just tucked under the purple paper, not wrapped around. Then I used a separate piece to tie the bow. The orange textured cardstock is from my stash. The buttons are from My Favorite Things. And while I love the buttons and the price is great, I now have a lifetime supply of orange buttons.
The shrinky dink was cut with my silhouette and colored with colored pencils before shrinking. Here's a close up:
I'm going to enter this over at Pixies Snippets Playground - Week 143
