Card Patterns Sketch 87

We have a very simple sketch for you this week. Leave it as is or add more elements to it. Flip it or turn it upside down, most importantly, have fun!

We have a new sponsor this week. Ribbon lovers, this is your chance!
Debbie from Simple Treasures is our generous sponsor and the team even got to play with her awesome ribbons.

Simple Treasures Info:

The Shabby Vintage Seam Binding is all hand tea stained and shabbied!  It is a 48 hour process to get the right amount of staining and to allow to dry.  My Etsy Shop has been open one year this month, and I currently offer 15 different shades of Shabby Seam Binding!

You can go visit her Etsy shop HERE.  

One lucky random participant will receive 10 yards of Shabby Vintage Seams from her Etsy Shop. Yay!

Today we are also joined by our Guest Designer, Tina all the way from Australia!

Getting to know Tina: 
Hi from Australia!  My name is Tina and I am very excited to have been invited to be a Guest Designer at Card Patterns.  I have been paper crafting for almost 2 years, but I have always been interested in all kinds of crafts.  I also enjoy knitting, cross stitch and sewing.  I just wish I had more time to do all the crafts I love!  I am a stay at home mum with 3 young children, but before that I was a school teacher.

I taught music, business studies, accounting and legal studies to secondary students.  I keep very busy during the day as my youngest child has mulitple disabilities, and so I spend my evenings papercrafting.  I have found it to be a very theraputic way of winding down and releasing the stress of my days. I tend to have a clean and simple style in my papercrafting, but every now and then I like to go all out and force myself to use up some of the pretty things that I hoard because they are too pretty to use.
