Good morning ladies and gents! Today I've brought to you this week's Diva Coffee Break Designs sketch challenge. As you can probably see I did everything I could to make this sketch my own but still follow the general design. That's called stretching it a bit! Anyway, I saw an amazing card using thie stamp set Greenhouse Gardens with craft ink on dark cardstock r ecently and knew I wanted to try that. My card is nothing like the one I saw other than the stamps and the fact that I used craft ink. Anyway, In order to not cover up too much of the stamping I decided to use vellum for my layers. Do you ever think to use vellum?? It doesn't happen much for me, but when I do it is always fun and new.
To get the look of the three circle images at the left I used Pewter Jumbo Eyelets with the trusty Crop-a-Dile... but decided to tone them down a bit so not too harsh looking on this soft pretty card by tying a bit of dotted Soft Suede grosgrain ribbon through each.
Well, I sure hope you'll join us this week for this great challenge! I'd love to see your take on this sketch!
Thanks for visiting me today,
~Kristin

ReplyDeleteI love your card and the colours you used. I think you have inspired me to get out my set and try my card again.
ReplyDeleteI think this is gorgeous! The other card you CASEd had white EP on it, so that's why it was vivid, but I think your version is beautiful too!
