Hi everyone,
I swear sometimes I feel like I'm suffering from split personalities. Yesterday's project was all shabby chic and today.... THIS !
Is there a cure for this?! This card is so far away from the frame of mind I was in yesterday. It's all about poppin' vibrant colors and I quite like it. The main color is Melon Mambo and the border at the bottom was punched with a Martha Stewart punch (large double punch arches combo set). I created the background with an image from SU's Fifth Avenue Floral that I repeated, masking along the way to create a grouping of flowers. The image was inked with Whisper White Craft Ink and outlined with a Copic marker (#RV19). I didn't come up with this technique; I saw it on Nichole Heady's blog. I lovedhow it turned out.
Of course, I had to add some bling. The sentiment was first stamped with Versamark over a piece of vellum then heat embossed it in white. The two score lines at the top and bottom of the vellum helps to mask the score tape underneath (another idea I stole from Nichole!).
So now I just have to find a funky mom to give this to on Mother's Day!
Have a nice stampin' day !!!
