Hi! What a stressful day! I was dropped at work at 7am then, Mark (my most awesome house mate) headed home. On the way home, he had a small accident, running up the back of a bigger car which had a towball. The lil barina of ours, now has a very bent radiator, and is off the road at the moment. Mark is completely okay though, which is the best news. My little sister has generously lent us her car until ours is back on the road. Anyway, this afternoon after I got home from work, I decided I needed to de-stress and get into my craft room. This is what I came up with
This is such a feminine card. I have used a Elegant Eggplant card base, then layered a piece of Crumbcake with a pretty design which is part of the Easter Blooms (which is retired) stamped tone on tone, this has a scallop border punch in Perfect Plum. The circle is a piece of Gloss Card, which has been given the faux mother of pearl technique, but with Elegant Eggplant sponged over the top. I think it looks a bit like marble. I have then stamped the cherry blossom image in Staz On Black. The sentiment is from Short and Sweet and has been stamped in Basic Black. I really like how this card turned out. I am entering this into two challenges, the first being the CR84FN colour challenge, the second is the Paper Players Sketch Challenge.
Until later,
Happy Stamping!
what a lovely card, jess!!
ReplyDeleteHey Jess, This looks great!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour card is just lovely. I really like the soft tone-on-tone stamping on the centre panel and the embossed stamp on the circle is gorgeous! Thanks for playing along with CR84FN this week!
ReplyDeleteHope it doesn't take too long to get the car repaired.
I love the look of the faux mother of pearl. Think I'll have to add glossy white to my next order :)
