UTEE ODBD Easter Card
When I saw the sketch for this week's challenge at ODBD, I thought it'd work great for an Easter card. I decided to try one of my UTEE colors I've had forever & never used. It's called Opal Green & came out very light. I don't know if it's supposed to be or lost color with age. ODBD Vine Cross was pressed into the warm powder & some green shreds were added. After it cooled, I pressed it flat allowing some cracks to form & added Versafine Vintage Sepia to the cross & sponged it over the cracks. The piece was matted with a purple scalloped oval. I die cut one of the ODBD Beautiful Borders, backed it with vellum & added shimmery purple ribbon. I love the striped paper which I've had for many years.
The edges were sponged with Distress Ink antique linen & the TPC Studio sentiment is stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa. A couple small brown pearls finish off the card. My weekend to work, so may be a little behind in reading your blogs. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Love your fabulous card!!!!!!
