This card is for two challenges: Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #29 and SCS CC204A. I just couldn't get my mind around 204 so I decided to forget about it. 204A's colors I can do: Old Olive, Cameo Coral, and Creamy Caramel.
My base card is Very Vanilla with layers of Creamy Caramel, Old Olive, and Old Olive DSP. The next element is Creamy Caramel, Cameo Coral, and designer card stock from a K & Co. card pack. The next element is Creamy Caramel, Old Olive, and Cameo Coral. The focal image was stamped on watercolor paper with Basic Brown ink and colored with Stampin' Up! markers and a blender pen. It was then cut/embossed with a long rectangle Nestabilities die and sponged with Creamy Caramel while it was still in the die. Then I matted it on Old Olive, which was cut embossed with a scalloped long rectangle die and the whole thing is up on 3M foam squares. A green double stitched grosgrain ribbon bow was added with a spiral clip. The sentiment is from Verve's Wonderful Wishes set and stamped/sponged/cut/embossed/layered in the same manner as the focal image adn is also up on foam squares. Gold flat back pearls at each corner finish it off.
Thanks for dropping by!

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Barbara! I love this color combo! The shading on the panels is so nice too!
ReplyDeleteI just had to have this stamp set and guess what? I've never even mounted it let alone inked it up. I should be ashamed. Or I could be rich if I sold every craft item I've not used yet! Yikes!
Your card is beautiful.
