My second post for today! Here I used the die cut piece of cardboard from the previous card inked with a little white, I also cut a smaller shape to nest inside using Spellbinders Labels 18, I removed the top layer from the cardboard to reveal the corrugated card inside, I rubbed a little white acrylic paint over the top. I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch 195 as my starting point... it evolved a bit!
I also used the gorgeous photo from this week's challenge #66 at The Shabby Tea Room as inspiration, I just love these colors!! (Pink, green, neutrals and flowers)
I used lots of layers here. The green background paper is from Prima Botanical. The other background paper I made by stamping doilies from Dainty Doilies -Large Set by Waltzingmouse Stamps and some text on some cream card. I die cut some pretty pink felt using a Marianne design lace border die. The rose is from Wild Orchid Crafts.
The little butterfly is a lace applique I bought on ebay, it was white and I aged it with some Antique linen ink and spritzed it with some Glimmer mist.
The sentiment is from Say it Loud by Waltzingmouse Stamps and the label is from Timeless Tags by The Craft's Meow. The twisted burlap twine is from The Ribbon Reel.
I really like how this one turned out, it might be that I just love these colors though! I'll definitely be using more cardboard though, love the texture! I'll be back tomorrow with my card for the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge.
