Hello friends ...
WOW, we got off to a late start this morning and I've been running behind ALL DAY!!
But, I was able to create a card for the current challenge at Joan's Touch which is ...
With purple being my favorite color ... of course I had to join in on Joan's challenge this week!
I was inspired by her beautiful creation in which she used tulle for texture, so I decided to use 'cheese cloth' for texture on my card. I saw this scrap piece of cheesecloth laying on the table and thought ... Why Not!
LOVE the beautiful paper I used for my background panel. I purchased it a short while back from Classy Cards n Such. It's a little heavier weight so it die cuts beautifully ... and the colors are GORGEOUS! Did you notice the beautiful sheen this paper has ... love that!
Of course, one of my FAVORITE design paper companies is Graphic45! The focus image is actually one of the floral images on the lead sheet of 12 x 12 paper in the Secrets Garden paper pack. A little fussy cutting and matting turned it into the perfect NATURE focus on my card.
There too, what would flowers be without butterflies? I die cut/punched several different sizes and shapes of butterflies for my neighbors baby shower recently and these two lavender vellum butterflies were the perfect embellishment.
With using vellum for these butterflies, I thought the delicate look of pearls would be a nice accent. But instead of using tiny pearls I created my own using Liquid Pearls for the center body section of the butterfly.
Not sure if you can see it in the photo, but there is nice dimension on this card, created by popping up the white panel as well as the floral panel.
Well, I think I've chewed on your ear long enough ... I'm sure you didn't need all those details but just in case there's a 'newbie' out there watching, hopefully I've helped in some little way!
Here are a few other challenges I'd like to enter into:
Crafty Catz Challenge #228 - Anything Goes
Dazzling Diva Challenge #22 - Radiant Orchid or Anything Goes
Miriam's Crafting Blog's 11th Monthly Challenge - Texture
Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a FABULOUS weekend!
The Adventures in Stamping is this weekend in Akron so guess where I'll be!?! LOL!!
Take care!
