I've been waiting to make this "Luck of the Irish" top hat for St. Patrick's Day and when I saw the MOJO Monday Challenge contest for this week, the idea to use their design to create the band on my hat was born. Here's the challenge inspiration.
Here is my card. I used Certainly Celery card stock, DSP, 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon and a button. Handsome Hunter card stock was used for the scallop, the hearts that were punched to create the 4 leaf clover, and for the layer under the Certainly Celery DSP on the band. Two brads and a little rhinestone were added for some bling. I've also been wanting to do a little stitching on a card. I saw where someone had used the paper piercer to create the holes and then stitched it by hand using heavy duty thread. So, that's what I did! Maybe not as perfect as using a sewing machine but I can truly say it's totally handmade. :)
Fun card and great take on the sketch.
