Live, love, laugh bendy card

The SCS Ways To Use it challenge WT449 was to use chipboard on a card. I have had these 3 chipboard words for years. I don't usually use chipboard, so I never thought to use these until I was challenged to yesterday. I took them and covered them with ink spray smashed tissue paper. I then took my MFP Cracked hello stamp and stamped the crackle onto the letters. Then I hit a creative wall. I pulled out all kinds of designer papers and really struggled. I told my friend Pam that I had run out of creative ideas. She asked me to send her a photo of where I was. When I did she said I needed "stitching" "drywall tape" "burlap" and "butterflies". I was originally thinking of a masculine card, but Pam pointed out that I do girly cards better.
So I listened to my friend. This card took a lot of detours and finally came together. I just had to make another bendy card. I am so glad I Cheryl shared this addictive fold with me.

This view shows the dimension of the bendy card. It is definitely a card for giving in person.

  2. Honestly Marilynn, you make the best bows I have ever seen. This may seem a bit (or a big) shallow but it is good to know others struggle, others whom I would consider giants in their field. Your scrumpled tissue paper looks fabulous on the chipboard. Who said burlap and lace couldn't be a winner? The card is so beautiful. Thank you again for posting you inspirational pieces of art with us at Word Art Wednesday. Blessings, Carole
