Hello folks, hope you are having a good day :) I have been having more fun in my craft room and getting mucky hahahaha Last night I chose four challenges to follow as a starting point for today's project. I did this earlier in the week and has such a blast I thought I would do it again. It is a bit like doing a tic tac toe challenge which I love. This time I chose a sketch from the I Love Promarkers challenge, a colour scheme from the Colour Throwdown challenge, a themes from Crafter's Cafe (vintage/shabby chic) and Ruby's Rainbow (texture).
To begin with I stamped and embossed some navy paper. Gosh, I can't remember the last time I played with rubber stamps, certainly has been a long time. I use a stamp from the 'See D's range and Heat it up Silver Pearl embossing powder to add texture to the background paper.
Next I designed digitally the background for the circle I planned to place the digi on then added the digi. Once printed I coloured the digi with Promarkers and cut out the circle with Spellbinders Grand Circles.
Here is the completed coloured digi.
In keeping with a vintage feel I cut a circle of white lace and as the colour challenge wanted vanilla in their scheme I coloured the edges of the lace which would be visible with my Promarker.
Next, using Olive Green and Vanilla I coloured two pearl brads, four pearls and two strands of pearls.
With all my components ready it was time to assemble.
The pearl bead strands were attached to the backing paper then the centre topper made by layering the digi section on top of the lace. The brads and pearls were added to the topper which was then attached to the card with foam tape.
Here is the completed card.
