Hi Bloggers.
Here's today's card -
For the background, I first dusted a piece of Black Card with my Anti Static Bag. I inked up the Justrite Butterfly Background with Clear Perfect Medium and stamped onto my dusted card. I then added CS Phill Martin Chic Viola and Chic Grey Blue Mica Powders. I removed the excess using a dry wet wipe.
I dusted another piece of Black Card with my Anti Static Bag and stamped the frame from the Justrite Spring Wishes Vintage Labels 8 & 9 Stamp Set using Clear Perfect Medium. I brushed the same 2 mica powders over the image as before, removing the excess with my dry wet wipe. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels 8 Dies.
I stamped the sentiment from the Spring Wishes Stamp Set onto Mauve Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels 9 Dies and added a couple of 5mm Black Pearls.
I matted my background onto a piece of Mauve Card and wrapped some thin Light Orchid Satin Ribbon around it. I tied a bow using 3 lengths of the same ribbon and added a Black Vintage Button.
I assembled the card as shown piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

This is lovely. Very different colours and so effective
ReplyDeleteI suspect the photographs on my iPad do not do justice to this card. I would love to see the original as I reckon it is fabulous. Must have a play to see what happens.

Morning Julia
ReplyDeleteThis card has a dramatic look then, introducing the mauve softens it somewhat. A great card
