There were some lovely designs and ideas on the Tracy Porter site that Stef chose for us today. As I am busy with visitors I went for an easy card. I liked the colour combination in THIS mug design, and I don't often use a lot of pink. As attested to by the fact that it didn't occur to me to mount it on a pink card base till after I'd already sponged it brown round the edges.
A2 card base, sponged with ColorBox Chalk Chestnut Roan round the edges. Then some DCWV Travel Stack and some embossed fancy green paper from Stamp Muse. I wrapped ribbon over the join, and added a small extra strip of the bamboo paper along the base. I added the flower from Embrace Life, stamped with Versafine Black and coloured with Tim Holtz DI Worn Lipstick. Added a pink gem in the centre and the two top corners, and some gold Liquid Pearls on the stamens. True to the inspiration I left the green space clean, though I may add a sentiment when the time comes to use this.
TFL.
Probably won't have much time to cruise the gallery till tomorrow - things like ironing a tablecloth for dinner are looming.
