I hope I'm not the only one out there who knows the hole in the bucket song. LOL We have a "Rustic" theme this week at Papercraft Star. I can't think of anything much more rustic than pumping water by hand into a bucket. This one looks like it's in pretty good shape. :-)
My card started with a base of kraft cardstock and then was matted with some K & Company papers. For the center panel I used my re-purchased Martha Stewart scallop punch (remember I broke the first one) to create two panels to lace together with some hemp cord over a piece of burlap.
The image is from Digi Doodle Shop and is colored with Copic markers. I did some distressing with scissors and inks.
Normally all of our designers use one or more images from our sponsor, The House Across the Bay, each week, but we've changed thing up a bit and now we're going to feature one of our DT members each week using the digis. Make sure you check out our featured designer so you can see what imaginative way they've incorporated a digital image into their project for the week. And don't forget we have a freebie posted every Tuesday on the Papercraft Star blog.
Our challenge is open through 6;00 a.m. EST on Monday if you'd like to play along.
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
The Spotted Chick--krafty Thursday
Party Time Tuesday--anything goes
Creative Craft Challenge--BINGO

Hi Tracy! How are you sweetie? It's been a while as my crafting and blogging time is really limited. I've browsed a bit and there are so many gorgeous creations on your blog, wow! You always come with the most creative layouts and Your coloring is so smooth and perfectly done. Also I've had the chance to see some beautiful stamps I've never seen before; I would love to get the chance to play with them when I find a spare minute:)
Love the way you added the burlap inside the edges in this one and then stitched;that's so creative!
have a great day sweetie!
Hugs, Iulia
This has so much rustic charm to it! I love your image and the layered papers with the material!
Ooooh how elegant, Tracy!
you've done such a beautiful job of coloring the image that you could have stopped with that, but I do love how you put it all together.
thanks for joining us at PIO.
