I've finally completed my entry for this week's Waltzingmouse Challenge, again, like last week, I've been mulling it over, and not gotten any inspiration at all! Well, this morning, I had a go, and I'm really happy with the results.
Here's this week's sketch:
And the colours I used, or so I thought.... Rust, Storm, and Deep Sea...
It wasn't until I uploaded the pictorial inspiration from The Play Date Cafe, that I realised my take on Rust was not as deep an orange it should be. Oh well, this is how it turned out!
I used a white linen card base, and cut a panel of a deep grey, pearlescent card stock, and ran it through a wood-grain embossing folder.
I then clear embossed some musical backgrounds from Waltzingmouse Stamps onto some orange Core'dinations, and stitched in grey around the edge.
The label is stamped in Weathered Wood Distress Ink, using Say it With Style stamps from WMS.
Then cut two grey felt flowers using a Mariannee Creatables die, and some leaves, which I then distressed with the Weathered Wood ink. The flower centres are called Sparklets from Kaisercraft, and they are sooo pretty and sparkly - I had to get some in all the colours they had in the shop lol! Underneath the sentiment I adhered some crystals from Prima in a deep blue.
I'm entering this into the following challenges:
