Card: Sew classy birthday

Luck has been my friend lately, and never so clearly as when I was commissioned to create this special birthday card for a coworker. Veronica's mother is a creative seamstress and when I heard that I knew what products I wanted to use. Donna Salazar has been an inspiration to me for a long time and I have been saving one of the camo flowers I purchased at her etsy shop for this special card. Her work at Prima and through her career gives me hope that I can achieve whatever I want. The paper was Stampin Up kraft cardstock & ribbon, as well as Basic Grey (Bittersweet, Porcelain). The embellishments are Me&My Big ideas (MAMBI) puffy flourishes and Fashion District butterfly. A Prima fleur vintage style flower capped with Say it in Crystals is the cherry on the cake. It was loads of fun to create and Veronica said her mother loved it... I am a happy camper

Thanked!

Today I opened up a wonderful package containing my order from wonderfully creative Donna Salazar

I find myself among the fortunate people to now own a few pieces of her artwork. I went on her Etsy shop and purchased these gems. I can hardly wait to use them in a few of my projects. They are gorgeous camo fabric flowers, and dictionary scalloped paper that I was unable to photograph.

Thanks, Donna!

Inspired by Donna Salazar

First versionFinal version I am currently creating a commissioned accordion album and used one of the techniques i saw on Donna Salazar's Blog. She is such an inspiration! - She has shown me how using a doilie can add an extra element of vintage to a project. The scalloped-edge doilie I used was an embossed floral design with silver and white on the front. Since I did not like the silver and white for this cover, I turned it over and used some chalk inks to customize it. I love how it came out!! - After a few fortunate accidents I changed the look of the cover and I believe it was for the better. The final version to me is softer and cuter. Thanks for visiting my blog!
