However, the weekend brings a couple of my fave challenges that I always turn to for inspiration, and I wasn't disappointed.
The colours are inspired by The Play Date Cafe, and the sketch is inspired by this weeks's Waltzingmouse Sketch challenge. I was also inspired by the new CAS-ual Fridays Challenge and Fab 'n' Funky challenges which want buttons and twine/bows.
So below are the inspiration pics:
And here's my take:
I have stamped the two large hearts from Waltzingmouse Sweethearts set in a continuous row, in Distress Ink Peeled Paint and a lilac ink from my stash with no name (!), then overstamped in Versamark and clear embossed. Then fussy cut into a long border and layered onto some lilac raffia mounted onto some matt silver textured cardstock from Papermania.
Then added some buttons and twine to each heart.
Mounted the heart border onto some lilac pearlescent cardstock, and stamped the sentiment from Waltzingmouse Stamps Fancy Phrases in Distress Ink Black Soot, and two little flourishes in silver ink.
Finally added two tiny dark grey pearls from Kanban.
I really love how this turned out, these colours are one of my favourite combinations!
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge
The Play Date Cafe
CAS-ual Fridays
Totally Gorjuss
Fab 'n' Funky
I'll be back tomorrow with my second design team card for the The Ribbon Reel Challenge, thanks for stopping by,
