Another Spring Card
Finished one last card before we get our puppy. May be awhile before I make another one--LOL!
The challenge at ODBD is to use amethyst & since that's my birthstone I had to play along. I white embossed the blooms from Sweet William-Small on watercolor paper, die cut them with the matching Spellbinders & then brushed on Tattered Angels mists in 3 shades of purple. The leaves are die cut with PTI Turning A New Leaf. I added sparkle to the blooms & leaves with my Wink of Stella pen--so pretty in real life. The sentiment is by Stampendous & is stamped in Memento Gray Flannel & clear embossed. The piece is punched with a Fiskars border punch & the vellum flag is die cut with MFT Fishtail Flags. I attached a piece of newspaper to the card front using Gesso--wanted it muted & must have used too much on top as you can't see the newsprint at all now. It's spritzed with the same Tattered Angels & I dropped on some splotches. I haven't done the challenge at
Case This Sketch in a long time, but Joni's sketch inspired me. The background may be too much to count as CAS, but I'll enter & let them decide.

ReplyDeleteGreta - a beautiful, eye-catching, oh-so-pretty card! The shades of lilac/purple paired with the white: striking!! So excited to see puppy photos...perhaps you can create cards with puppy nestled on your lap (and likely 'helping' to create, oh...tattered edges?). Cuteness to the nth degree about to enter you home...yayyyyyy!!!! Hugs~c
