This week's SCS Inspiration Challenge comes from the fabulous jewelry of Destiny's Creations. She describes her work as sleek, modern, fun and whimsical combining precious metals with rich vibrant colors. I chose this adorable Buttercup Necklace to inspire my design.
I loved the contrast of the oxidized background texture and the pop of yellow gem in the cute little flower.
I started by embossing silver metallic cardstock with a Plum Blossom Embossing Folder. Next I lightly brushed Silver Metallic Pigment Ink across the raised surface of the embossing and head-embossed the ink with silver embossing powder to provide contrast.
I cut a 2 1/4" circle from the cardstock make make a cute little thank you card. I punched two flowers from my first attempt at embossing, which got a bit heavy on the ink and turned out more of a solid silver & added a yellow gemstone brad in the center.
The sentiment is from SRM Stickers.
I hope You find inspiration.
Another AMAZING creation, Stephanie!!
