I hope you are all having a great week so far. Mine has been very busy, not too much time for blogging. I did manage to get a card done for the Scrapmagasinet Reader Challenge #12 and The Pink Elephant Challenge #22. I was the lucky winner of the Scrapmagasinet Sketch challenge #12 and won 2 free stamp sets, so I am using one of my new images for these challenges. TPE challenge this week is "Stars and Strips" and Scrapmagasinet challenge is "Flowers".
I am not sure of the name of the image, but the set is 104 Katter.
This card is a little outside my element as I am so used to using vibrant colors. My friend Tiffany had done some monochromatic cards that were awesome and I wanted to give it a try.
I embossed the image with black and painted it with Tombows and H2o's oyster. No stickles on this one, I liked the shimmer of the H2o's. The stars are cut with my nesties and the flowers are punched with My MS hydrangea punch. The sentiment is stamped with Stazon onto shrink film and heated and shrunk. I added some curled wire and a few pearls.
I hope you like it. The pic is a little dark, but lightening it made it wishy-washy...so this is the best I could get.
Have a great week
Thanks so much for stopping by...
