Hope you are having a fabulous day. It's challenge time over at Just Add Ink and this week we have an Inspiration Challenge. When I saw the inspiration picture I was instantly drawn to the texture and colour. I saw all the wood textures and the white tones with slight blue hues, and the silver spoon!
My daughter loves white cards and I have made this one to go with a gift she is about to receive for her amazing achievement in Year 12 Ancient History.
I pulled out my favourite stamp set - Birthday Blooms, and heat embossed the large floral image on Vellum with white powder. I fussy cut the image and flipped it over and sponged some Soft Sky.
A stitched circle of whisper white was adhered to the whisper white card front then cut on the right hand edge - enough room to allow a strip of silver glimmer paper to show when adhered to the card base.
Vellum leaves were punched and adhered using tombow and a sponge, then the card front was embossed using the Wood Grain Embossing Folder (retired).
The vellum flower was attached to the circle on the card front and the congratulations sentiment from Floral Phrases - stamped in Soft Sky, was slightly curled and adhered over a nest of silver metallic thread. I added a few white sequins and then adhered the card front to the card base with silver glimmer strip on the right hand side.
The Design Team over at Just Add Ink have created some amazing projects for this inspiration challenge, be sure to check them out. We would love for you to join us and play along.
Until next time, stay awesome
