Hey there! Just when you think you have everything lined up to accomplish a lot in one day, it can go awry. I've been dealing with a broken washing machine since last week. The repairman came on Tuesday afternoon, so I started washing my weeks-worth pile of laundry. I'd only done a few loads when the machine door stopped closing. Of course it was after hours by then. When my hubby came home he fixed it, so I was able to do a couple more loads before bedtime. Yesterday morning the door, although closed, refused to lock! The poor machine kept trying and trying to lock itself, so I turned it off and called my hubby. He got it going for one more load before it quit locking again! I called the repairman, who will be here tomorrow IF the part arrives on the UPS truck before he starts on his route. Goodness, will I ever catch up?
On the bright side, I DO have a great card to share with you today; the stepped-up version of the CAS Painted Harvest card from yesterday. I created a nifty tri-fold using the October Creative Crew Challenge colors of Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango, and Tranquil Tide.
After embossing the card front with the Petal Burst folder, I cut a circle through the front with a Layering Circle Framelit. I then used that circle and a scalloped Layering Circle Framelit to cut out the rim from Tangerine Tango. Before I adhere the scalloped circle rim, I cut out a circle slightly larger than the smaller circle from a Window Sheet to sandwich between the card front and the rim.
I stamped the bloom and the Painted Harvest greeting on the Whisper White layer behind the window sheet. I adhered the stamped and punched Tranquil Tide leaves between the layers with a glue dot. I tied a bit of Linen Thread in a bow and added it with a glue dot too.
The Chocolate Chip card base is 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4. The white layer is also 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and 4 1/4". I stamped the Tangerine Tango blooms multiple times before adhering the folded layer to the back side of the Chocolate Chip card base so it will open to create the tri-fold. I added the little dots with the flower center image from Painted Harvest, stamping-off Tranquil Tide for a subtle look.
The tri-fold inside was stamped with more Painted Harvest images.
I sure hope the washer comes early today so I can get a little stamping done. You never know what a day will bring! lol!
