Browsing online yesterday, I ran across the Louisa Settee from Anthropologie. It reminded me so much of the scrap aftermath from one of my ripped up distressed cards. I thought it would be fun to reinterpret this as a card. Using my Color Coach I decided that Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, Night of Navy, and Whisper White would be a good combination. I really love the large swatches of color in the Color Coach – it makes working with colors so much easier than whole pieces of card stock!
I used Bashful Blue as the card base, and cut 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ pieces of the other colors. Then I just started ripping away, trying to make something that looked like the settee. Once I had a pattern I liked I glued them with Tombow Multi and stamped a sentiment. It is a fantastically easy card to make, and being precise doesn’t matter. Gotta love that! Here is the end result:
Like the background of the photo? Lucy, my bad cat, decided that this was HER photo shoot and after much wrestling, we compromised on her being behind the card.
Leave a comment if you are inspired to create anything based on the settee. I’d love to see what you come up with!
