Winnie & Walter Play Date #1 - Guest Design Spot!!


Want to win a guest spot for the winnie & walter third release (along with all the third release stamps)?! Of course, right? The prize is yours for the taking at the new winnie & walter playdate challenge.

playdate no.1 graphic-mar2014

The challenge is to make a card based on the inspiration photo with one winnie & walter product (no product? no problem! check out the FREE cut files!) Then link it up before March 31st, and winnie & walter will select a winner.

I took inspiration from the little girl's shirt in the bottom right corner, specifically the yellow writing over a purple image. 


Never would have used these colors together, even though they're across from each other on the color wheel. Probably not my favorite combination, but I enjoy making something that's a little different. The purple mom silhouette and the word "mom" is from The Write Stuff: Leave it to Mom. The "thanks" is from The Big, The Bold and You (which did end up selling out as I predicted!!)

A double layer of gold thread is strung through the holes. That's where I left the card at one point, and then I thought it would be fun to hang something from the lines of thread.




So fun picking out words from The Big, The Bold and You to hang. They are embossed in white on vellum ... such a hot trend now. The little flourish is from The Write Stuff: Leave it to Mom

I hope you give it a try and link up your winnie & walter project. Thanks for looking!

  11. Beautiful. Using the gold thread to sew across the card was in and of itself wonderful, but then adding the vellum banners was brilliant.
