So glad it is Friday....it has been a long week!
I actually dreamt this card! I wanted to do something a little different for this week's sketch challenge at Create with Connie and Mary. I think I spent an hour last night pouring over my stamps and just couldn't come up with one...and you would think with all I own.....so I dreamt about using this set and doing a bit of a spotlight technique! To soften the background image, I covered it in vellum (and used pearls to hide the adhesive!)
Hope you are having beautiful weather, wherever you may be!
stamps: Elements of Style
cardstock: Naturals White, Pretty in Pink, Early Espresso, vellum, Spring DSP (retired)
inks: Early Espresso, Pretty in Pink
accessories: Early Espresso Satin Ribbon, Pearls, various punches
Beautiful, Lauri! I love the softness the vellum creates over the background. It really lets the spotlight and your pretty bird take center stage.
ReplyDeleteI love how you've used the vellum too. What a great way to make that spotlight really stand out. The pearls in the corners are so pretty as well as being functional.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS card Lauri! Love your take on the sketch this week. The vellum is so pretty with this set and I love how it softens everything and really highlights the spotlight! Beautiful and functional use of the pearls too. So glad you could join us at CCMC this week! :-)
