Yesterday was the Operation Write Home Blog Skip. I was honored to be asked to participate and want to thank everyone who took a moment to leave a comment. I really appreciate your kind words.
Today I wanted to work on the Sunday Sketch and as I pondered it, an idea for a non traditional wedding card come into being :
My friend's daughter is getting married in just over a month and her color is cobalt blue. I used Pacific Point which was as close as I could get to cobalt, made tiny little 1/8" layers so it just peeks out. The flower was made using PTI Beautiful Blooms #3 die and cutting 2 of each size, then layering them slightly askew. I pierced the center to pull the petals forward a little then just fluffed them till they looked like I wanted. Finally I sponged some Fresh Snow ink over the petals after the flower was assembled to highlight them a little. I finished the flower with a half pearl and a celebrate tag.
Oh and the patterned is the SU! Houndstooth embossing folder. I tried a leopard print and still may go with that for the final card, but I loved the houndstooth look too so that's what got taped down :)
Thanks for stopping!!
Maureen, This is a beautiful card. I love the white with the Pacific Point. This is the first time I've seen the houndstooth embossing folder in use and I like it. The white on the edges of your flower really make it pop. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I love the blue and white combination. I also think that tagged sentiment is a very clever idea!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! The layers and contrast are great and the flower is the perfect center.
