My card tonight combines today's SCS Sketch #178 with Beate's Inspiration Challenge #15 - this great dress from J Crew. I loved the circular patterns which I picked up in my new A Family Affair two-sided cardstock by ATD (I picked it up on an end-cap at Michael's in a 5"x7" pad). I feel like I was channeling a little Amy Westerman with my three DP design.
I replaced the large circular medallion design in the dress, with a Cuttlebug embossed fancy corner and repeated the circular design with all of my DP's.
The cardstock cracked slightly, so I sponged the square with ColorBox Chalk Dark Peony to cover up the cracks and add some depth to the embossed texture. I used my Martha Stewart eyelet border punch and a gold adhesive gem to finish.
I like having 'no sentiment' cards in my stash when I just want to send a quick note. I can personalize it with a stamp inside if I want ... or just have more room to write.
Wow! The colors are just fantastic! This is a beautifully inspired creation!
smiles, Deena
