First, I'm entering the Shades of Sunset challenge which required you to use the colors of the sunset...
This challenge runs through Aug. 12 so make sure to play!
Here is my entry:
For this card, I used paper from DCWV's "The Luxury Stack" which consists of beautiful pearlized and metallic papers--they really reflect light so beautifully and I thought they would be perfect for depicting the lovely light of a sunset! I attached the lace and then added the reddish strip of paper (with hand-drawn stitching) with 3D foam. I cut the rose, love sentiment from my "All Seasons" paper pad by Recollections and adhered it to cardstock. Then I cut this out so that this would be sturdier and have more dimension. I attached it with 3D foam as well so that it is raised slightly above the lace. I added crinkled seam binding, trinket pins, and a kaolin resin rose made by Wang's. This lovely resin flower as well as several others I have in my embellishment stash were found at a thrift store! I just love finding odds and ends at thrift stores that I can include on my cards to make them truly one-of-a-kind items! Finally, I added pearl stickies to two buttons and attached them to the corner with glue dots.
I'm also entering this card in the Viva La Verve sketch for this week challenge:
