.... We're almost half way through February already and it's time for our new challenge at CR84FN. We have the most gorgeous colours for CR84FN48 - lavender, grey (silver) and chartreuse.Our inspiration photos are courtesy of A Creative Mint - don't you just love the cotton reels? I really could spend ages just browsing through Leslie's blog - the photos are super!
I think you all know that I attend a Craft Club in our village - well, we had the first birthday of the year yesterday!! We all gave Beryl her cards last Monday at class - it was such fun - so many different styles.
I opted for an elegant, but slightly funky card. I used a large stamp for the focal image - Damask Floral by Impression Obsession. I love the shape of the leaves and flowers - a bit different. I stamped the image in Memento ink and coloured it with a variety of Promarkers. I added some subtle sparkle with my glue pen and some glitter! I used my Grand Labels 4 to cut out the image and also the backing mat. In my stash I found this gorgeous piece of patterned mirri card. I used my Distress inks to add a touch of colour to the edge of the image. I stamped some flourishes directly on to the card base - in green, lavender and silver - before attaching the topper. I finished off the card with a simple birthday sentiment.
Stamps: Impression Obsession - Damask Floral; Waltzingmouse - Flourishes - Scallops & Dots
Inks: Distress - Milled Lavender, Shabby Shutters; Memento - Tuxedo Black
Spellbinders: Grand Labels 4 (LF-190) # 2 and 3, Fancy Tags (S4-235)
Promarkers: Amethyst, Lilac, Lavender, Leaf Green, Meadow Green, Apple
Accessories: Shimmer mirri card, silver embossing powder and card from stash
