Pretty sure I've never used that combo before, but I do love pastels. Decided silver would look good with it, so pulled out CN9 Nectar and Lilac along with Lawn Fawn Manatee. I silver embossed the 4th turn. Also hadn't used my Frantic Stamper arch dies in awhile, so used the largest one to die cut the panel. An old Spellbinders die kit included the sweet flowers & stems that I thought went well with the background. I used the same inks to color them and arranged them along the side. The Pinkfresh Perfect Sentiments are such a great font and now that I've cut apart the stamps, I can actually use them! Hello was stamped in Manatee and covered with Shimmer Pico Embellisher. 
I don't have all that many silver embellishments, but I did find very old Stampendous Diamond Dots in my stash. The tiny ones fit perfectly in the flower centers and the big ones added a little sparkle to the card. They're flat, so also mail friendly. I wanted a bit more silver, but didn't have a larger arch die. Luckily, I thought of just adding a strip of silver metallic cardstock and that was just what it needed. Not a typical card for me, but it's fun to do something a little different. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday.

The soft pastels are very pleasing on the eye and the hints of silver a great idea as all works together so well.

ReplyDeleteMaybe not typical but definitely terrific, Greta. That turnabout worked great for the background and I love that you used silver embossing on it. The flowers match it perfectly and give a lot of dimension. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
