Today's card will be entered into the MFT Sketch Challenge and the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge, Anything Goes!
I originally thought I would also enter this into the Mix It Up Monday Challenge over at Stamp TV, Only 2 Colors, and No Designer Paper, oh tricky Cat......clearly I have used Designer Paper. lol Oh well, another card to send out!
I love this sketch and it helped me plan out my card. I used the Gina K Designs stamp set, Lots Of Lines. Big bold sentiments, big bold images! I knew I wanted to go with a black and white theme, so to make this more feminine, I decided to add a bunch of Adhesive Pearls. There is a chipboard button threaded with Baker's Twine as another accent. The sentiment was stamped on Vellum and then texture was added using Swiss Dots Embossing Folder. I also punched a tiny butterfly on my inside cover sheet and added a strip of corresponding Designer Paper to the top, just to tie everything together. I find this card clean and elegant!
Thanks so much for coming by, appreciate you doing so!
Enjoy~~
Gotta love a black and white card......so classic! That sentiment looks great on Vellum and love your girly touches. Great card!
ReplyDeleteI love these kinds of sketches, too, and your take on it turned out realy nice, Donna! The black and white is really stunning! Thanks for joining us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!
ReplyDeleteBlack & White is so lovely and so is your card. Love the vellum strip.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful. I really must try working with sketches... this looks so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWell this is certainly a beautiful card. I love your sketch design you used and how you created it. The designer paper works great so I can see how you could easily make that mistake for the restrictive challenge. But it makes the card even more gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou can never go wrong with a black and white card. I love the bold statement on the vellum, it makes a punch on this card. Great addition with the pearls to make it more feminine. You could have made the panels in white, but that paper is so much better. Way to go.
ReplyDeleteThis card is really wonderful Donna!!! Really love the textured vellum.....you are so clever!!!
ReplyDeleteSure is elegant and gorgeous! Love the clean look and the embossed vellum so beautiful! Have a Blessed day!
