This is a simple card. But, I LOVE it!

Things I love about this card;

Gold Emboss - Ive never used it before. And, I didn't even know it existed. I said to Kylie 'How awesome would it be if the bottle was Gold Embossed?' to which she said 'Its over on the desk.' I don't know how I missed it in the catalogue. Looks HOT!


Embossing Folder - This pattern (Happy Heart) created just the right visual interest on the card to balance, yet not too much to overpower. What do you think?


Background Stamp - Did you even notice it? It is very feint. Look again ...... Can you see it? Its the Watercolour Wash stamp in Versamark. I tried it in Pink, but it just wasn't right - it overpowered the card too much. So, Versamark it was and it worked out PERFECT!

Colours - These would NEVER be colours I would put together. But, I think they look HOT! I've put together an image showing the colours used for reference.

Im back - did you miss me? This is a VERY exciting card for me for 2 reasons;

1. Im playing along with Retro Sketches again and this challenge blog is one of my favourites
2. I LOVE the card! Like really, really, really LOVE the card!

Anyway, here is the sketch;



And, here is the card I ended up with;



As you can see by the detail above, it doesn't quite line up. But, I think that adds to the visual interest.


I stamped the sentiment and banner from the same set. Click here to buy it from our store 24/7. The sentiment is white embossed on Bermuda Bay and then layered with a layer of white and Vellum underneath. The banner is white embossed on Vellum and cut to size to fit.


I used basically all of the colours from the Brights range. Below is an image showing which colours were used;

Thanks so much for taking the time to look at my blog today. Im back with the cool kids at Retro Sketches today for another awesome sketch challenge. Here is the inspiration for my card today;



And, here is the card that I ended up with;


The first thing you will notice that I have presented a landscape card whereas the sketch is portrait. I didn't plan this. In fact, I had stuck down everything and was just about the stick down the sentiment when I just tried to see how it looked as a landscape card. I liked the card in portrait. But, i LOVE the card in landscape.


We received an order today with the corrugated cardboard, which is just awesome. It was a nice base element over the strong diagonal elements. Then, some of my trademark Vellum. And, over the top of that, some Crushed Curry cardstock with a stamp from the 'Stamp a Bag' set, just $30 for photopolymer. Click on the image below to purchase from our store.

Also in the order that arrived was the 'Another Thank You' set. I clear embossed the 'Many Thanks' with Crushed Curry ink on Whisper White and gave a quick wash of Night of Navy over using the emboss-resist technique. I used two framelits to mount the sentiment. The small banner underneath was not long enough and so I cut it in half and placed it where I wanted it.


Again, I used the Linen thread, which was a perfect accompaniment.
