I decided to make a couple last minute cards for August challenges. To start is my 3rd entry for
PFS Floral Challenge. It's been awhile since I did an inlaid die cut card & I wanted to try using foil cardstock behind the die cut outline. I chose a floral branch in the Dainty Blossoms die set & die cut cut it from a panel of gray cardstock I had splattered with black ink spray.
I backed the opening with a piece of purple foil cardstock. Then I inlaid the outline die which I cut from black cardstock. Makes for a striking, elegant look, I think.
The sentiment from Delicate Wreath was stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne & the panel was matted with black cardstock. Finished off with black twine tied in a bow. I'm also entering
PB&M &
SSS Wednesday.
I've been wanting to use the cute little gift images in Gina K Sketched Wreath Builder stamp set. I used my mini MISTI & stamped them in Brilliance Pearlescent Poppy & Ivy.
I stamped part of a sentiment in the set & used direct to paper technique with the Poppy ink to make the thin mat. The gifts were colored with the Jane Davenport Silver Screen glitter pen & then I restamped the images.
Thought the tiny gems were all it needed. I'm entering
Gina K Monthly Mix &
Word Art Wednesday.
