I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!
Todays card is for a very special person in my life - my Aunt - who turns 70 this coming weekend. She is truly a gift - and lifeline at times- so these words from SU! set Gods Blessings were perfect.
I've used the sketch from TECC to make the card, and firstly decided on the DSP I would use, this one from SU!. The centre image from Lizzie Anne Designs was stamped directly on to the DSP with Palette Burnt Umber, and cut with Circle Spellbinders. The outer scallop uses the Petite Circle Set.
The main words were stamped on to Vixen White, and I left them as they were so they would stand out, although perhaps I could've sponged them?
I would have liked lace to from part of the bottom embellishment, but would you believe I don't have any! So I set about using the White Vixen once again and cut it using Spellbinders Piercerabilities, lightly sponged and pierced the design, and it gave it the delicate look I was hoping for. These Spellbinders certainly make it easy.
I've also pierced the main piece of DSP right around the outer edge, but I've done this on the reverse side, and although it doesn't show up so well in the photo you can see tiny bits of the inner white of the DSP, and it seems to help break the amount of colour - if that makes sense?!?
Another thing that is a little hard to see are the different layers. Naturally the inner circle is raised, the words and the buttons, but I've also raised the whole front of the card to adhere it to the main Vixen piece. The choc cardstock is Bazzill Linen Java.
Thanks for stopping by today!
