CR84FN 19, WMSC 38, Papertake Weekly, Let's Ink it Up.

Hi all, it feels like I haven't made anything for ages, so I pulled my mojo out of the bag and made a card today for the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge, CR84FN colour challenge., Papertake Weekly, and Let's Ink it Up.

Below are the inspiration pics:


And here's my take:

I decided to place the circular sketch onto a square cared, mainly because I didn't have a circular die big enough to cut round my Nellie Snellen die cut! Using the NS die, I cut a decorative circle in matt silver card from Papermania and threaded some thin chiffon ribbon through the inner holes, then tied a bow where the ends met, adding some steel blue chiffon to give the bow a bit of oommph!

I then silver embossed some pearlescent white card using Waltzingmouse Stamps Text-It set, and cut into a semi circle.



Then using Core'dinations deep blue card, dry embossed a damask design from Crafts Too and lightly sanded to expose the grey middle.


Cut a Lacy Square using my nestabilities in an aqua shade card, added some aqua beads to some chiffon, and layered them all together.


finally layered the panel onto some of the blue Core'dinations card and a white linen card base, added some gems, and i'm very pleased with the end result.


There is no main sentiment on the front of the card, but I can add one to the inside when I want to use it.

Thanks for stopping by
