I used rope to create this focal image and I wasn't quite should what to call it so I decided on a Rope Medallion.
To make this medallion I die cut a felt circle using my nesties circle die. Then took some cotton rope that is about 1/4" thick and started creating a circle glueing every so often using Fabric-Tac. I stopped wrapping when I got to the size I wanted. I then added an aqua pearl accent to the middle. Every simple and easy to make.
For the card base I used Hawaiian Shores cardstock. To give it some texture I cut a piece of burlap a little bigger that the size of the card and ran it through my Cuttlebug. It's hard to see in the photo but it does add a subtle texture. I die cut and stamped a piece of white cardstock using the Mat Stack I collection. The ink I used is VersaMagic sahara sand. I stamped the flourish with Versamark and the sentiment with hawaiian shore ink. Adding some bitty dots paper in hawaiian shores to the bottom of the card and cut a 1/2" strip of kraft cardstock and attached it behind the focal image finished off the card. Oh, and I also rounded the bottom corners with my corner chopper.
Thanks for visiting.
