Card Calendar – using a scarf

During the week, I popped into a cheap store and saw a reduced scarf; I loved the look of the fabric and that is where my idea originated from.

Later that day I also saw a small calendar chart and thought that would also work well for a later project.

When I got home I started designing a card using the scarfs fabric, choosing matching papers and accessories that I already had in my stash. The end of the scarf worked great to add texture and movement to the background. I also tied a large bow with the fabric and cut a small section off to create a smaller bow. I coloured in a Lily of the Valley Stamped image with Promarkers, to match my colour scheme. My sentiment was also a stamped image but from a FREE stamp set that came with the 100^th issue of Cardmaking Magazine, which was also one of this week’s crafty purchases.

My Lily of the Valley card was really coming along, but I decided to turn this thank you card into a calendar beings as it is nearly the New Year and after all it was being created for someone special, as a big thank you for everything they have done and given me, so I thought I would give something a little bit different and a small gift back for their love and generosity.
