I have a card today for a couple of great challenges, Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge and CR84FN at Mona Pendleton's blog Cupcakes's Creations.
Here is the WMSC sketch:
And here is the colour inspiration from CR84FN8:
And here is my take:
I have used a white linen card base, and made a topper using matt silver card from a christmas stack by Papermania. The pink gingham and floral papers are also by Papermania, cut to look like and envelope, and edged with some Victorian Velvet distress ink. I still have not perfected the art of making the sponging look soft and dreamy like everyone else, but I guess I'll have to practice a bit more!
Added some cream daisy lace ribbon by Dovecraft over the join.
Using the lacy circle from WMS Faux Fun Circles, stamped and silver embossed twice onto some kraft card, and cut out the middle from one, and cut the other using Nestabilities Small Scalloped Circles. Stamped the sentiment from Peace and Plenty in Tuxedo Black on the cut out, and popped it onto the other circle with some foam dots.
Wrapped some pink baker's twine from The Ribbon Girl around the silver topper, tied a bow and added a punched out butterfly.
Added some gems and stickles to the butterfly for some shine, would have added some more, but I restrained myself!
Finally distressed around the edge of the scalloped circle with Pink Petunia chalk ink, layered it all together and voila! A pretty thank-you card for a girly girl!
Thanks for looking and Merry Christmas!
