Craft Queen - Kaisercraft Take Note

Hi Ladies,

My Craft Queen parcel had some of the new Kaisercraft Take Note papers to play with and I was inspired to create a LO and a card.

Smile Today is a a New and Beautiful Day


The LO was made using some of the 12" papers as well as papers from the 6" paper pad.

The spotty background paper was altered with various mixed media techniques.  I randomly punched around the borders for a grungy effect, then used a tea bag to add some colour splats.  The masking was created with the Prima 564216 mask and some texture paste.  Once dry, I then stamped randomly with the new Kaisercraft Lattice stamp and a Kaisercraft Script stamp using Vintage Photo and Walnut Distress inks.

The background strips and doily circles which I used to frame the photo were cut from pp's in the 6" paper pad.  I added a few torn strips of brown houndstooth washi tape, some buttons and a double ribbon bow from satin seam binding, which are all available from Craft Queen.

I love using Kaisercraft collectables on my cards, and this lovely floral diecut from the Miss Empire pack, went perfectly with the pp's from the Take Note 6" pad.  I topped it with a Collections butterfly (these are so versatile!!) The orange washi tape tied in beautifully with the diecut.  I finished of with touches of gesso, which is a great way create a lovely soft grungey effect.
