BOWS, BOWS, BOWS

I think I mentioned in one of yesterday's posts that I'm currently going through an obsession with layered bows, and have been playing with a new die set from Recollections with several different bow types. I'm having great fun with it!

So, as inspiration, I played with AAA Card Challenge #304 - A Sketch Challenge. I was looking for an excuse to line up three Christmas packages with large bows.


Last year I bought some fun 2-sided printed card stock in a close-out at my favorite art supply store. It's printed by Dare 2B Artzy (North Pole Holidays). I made an A2 top-folded card base from watercolor paper and die cut a slightly smaller stitched edge rectangle and stamped a sentiment from my stash with red ink and glued the panel to the face of the card. Then I fussy cut three packages from one side of the paper, lined them up in a row, and added matching layered bows. CAS, CAS, CAS! I used the same printed paper to make a matching custom envelope.
