I was about to throw away the piece I cut off to make the thank you card in my
last post. But it made me think of the current sketch at
FMS, which is about to close. I finally came up with the idea to attach the scrap to a panel of PTI Dark Indigo, line up the GKD Stellar Snowflake stencil & use a sponge dauber with Brilliance Pearlescent Ice Blue. As you can see, I turned the sketch upside down.
The sentiment is a new favorite Poppystamps die called Merry Christmas Poe Script. I stacked it 3 high with the top layer cut from PTI Rustic Cream cardstock that is a great match to the watercolor paper. I was afraid silver would be overpowering, but worked great with just a little showing. I'm also entering
The Snippets Playground as I used all scraps & saved the stenciled piece from the wastebasket! And I'm entering
SSS Monday.
Edited to add: Also entering
SSS Wednesday.
Here's how I used
the tag in my last post for a card. I've always liked using focal point images for the background. I simply stamped EH Mondo Holly on the top & bottom of a black panel in Ultimate Metallic gold ink.
To match the PTI tag, I die cut with Lil' Inker stitched rectangle. I didn't like the twine just hanging, so tied it into a bow.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.

ReplyDeleteBusy lady! I too am on a wait list for the brilliant sentiment die - I need to chase Sarn and grab her pigtails to see where she found hers from! Lovely work as always, my sweet friend. All quiet on the Western front right now :).
