CR84FN15
Wednesday, February 16, 2011
I'm busy working on a few projects but I managed to 'create for fun' last night!! I used the gorgeous color palette this week from CR84FN Color Challenge. Here's the pretty palette.
I went for a soft vintage feel. I used papers from Webster's and Prima Botanical Collection (love this range!).
The sentiment is from Fancy Phrases from Waltzingmouse Stamps. The little teal butterfly I cut out from The Mariposa Stack. I made the flower from vellum using the Tattered Florals Die, I used lots of layers and a brad in the centre, scrunched it all up and rubbed with some distress ink.
I drew some simple leaf shapes, cut out, scored the centre and rubbed with green ink. I love how the flower turned out, it's so light!
Supplies:
Card/Paper: White card, The Mariposa Stack, Prima Botanical, Webster's Pages
Stamps: Fancy Phrases from Waltzingmouse Stamps
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink antique linen, Black Archival ink, VersaMagic Tea Leaves
Other: Vellum, brad, Tattered Florals die, die cutting machine, sewing machine, crochet lace, lemon seam binding, doily, trinket pins.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card with such a gorgeous flower, Clare. Your card is so luscious with the papers and those colors. Please send me your address again, part of it is worn so I can not read it. I found something I want to send you!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous colours, Clare - so subtle. Thanks for sharing x
ReplyDeleteWow Clare - just Gorgeous! It's a winner for sure!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Clare. Vellum makes beautiful flowers - doesn't it? I've been using vellum for years to make my flowers and they always turn out more realistic than using paper. I also use cold porcelain, but that takes much longer.
ReplyDeleteI really have to work on my typing skills; sorry for all the mistakes in my comments!
ReplyDeleteHi Clare
