Hello and welcome!
It's time already for a new theme at
Allsorts challenge. I'm
hosting this week with the theme of
"Feminine". There are two great prizes to give away this week - we have a
beautiful Tonic header die as
well as an inspirational sentiment stamp set.
I'm currently loving the pretty color "blush" and was inspired by a strip of patterned paper on my desk from last week's
card. Yes, I'm often guilty of not cleaning up my craft desk after finishing
up a card. And I can't tell you how much I hate setting foot into my craft
room to make a new card only to discover I have to clean up first!! I'm
blaming it on my craft room being upstairs and not in the main living
area and whenever I make a card I take forever. Meaning by the time it's done
I need to get to something more important than cleaning up my desk.
But in this case I'm happy for the inspiration I found from the patterned
paper and I really like how this card turned out.

The image is a digital stamp from
Power Poppy I purchased sometime last year when they had a sale.
I printed the image twice (to use one of the roses a second time) on
Neenah 80b card stock and colored with
my Faber Castell polychromos pencils. I
have the complete set of 120 pencils and there are many blush tone pencils in
this set so it was perfect. If you look closely you may see some sparkle on
the roses - I used a clear
Wink of Stella brush
for this.
I really wanted to use a cheesecloth textured stencil, but don't have one (on
my wish list), instead I dug out a package of cheesecloth I had stashed away
and cut a small piece to add behind the mug using a couple of
glue dots. I'm pretty sure I purchased this cheesecloth in the crafting department and
not a kitchen supply store, but traditional cheesecloth would give you the
same effect.
Next I adhered the strip of patterned paper and the image which I had fussy
cut using my
Cutterbee
scissors. Foam tape was used to adhere
the image.
The french script is an oldie but goodie by Stampin up and I used a
tile textured stencil
here and there with
Pumice Stone
Distress ink.

The large sentiment is from Penny Black's set
Sprinkles and Smiles, stamped with Versafine Onyx ink, and
the small "happy birthday" from the set
Snippets
also by Penny Black. This one I heat embossed in white on black card stock
using
Versamark ink
and ultra fine
embossing powder
in white.
Before adhering the card to the white card base I inked the edges using
Tattered Rose
distress ink.

How pretty this is Ellie! I love the way you layered up your stamps and used actual cheesecloth for the background and the roses in the striped jug are stunning. Vicky x
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of all your pencils, I only have the 60 pack and still getting used to them. I find though that I often don't have the colour I want, so definitely have to get some more. Your colouring of these flowers is stunning and such a beautiful peachy colour. Love the texture with the cheesecloth and the muted 'aged' background is the perfect colour. So very happy you shared this with us at TIME OUT!
ReplyDeleteStunning card, gorgeously designed. Thanks for sharing with us over at World Wide Open Design Team Challenges. Best of luck in the final draw.
