This is a close-up view of my sample for my Hope You Can Cling To challenge today! My challenge is to FIGHT LIKE A GIRL - create a card or project with girlie embellishments (including, but not limited to, pearls, lace, bling, ribbons, flowers, glitter, or whatever you can think of!).
I used a chipboard tag from Creative Cuts and More as the starting point for my card. I painted it with white acrylic paint, and then brushed some pink paint on top of that. I stamped the large Dahlia flower on the left part of the tag, and then stamped the sentiment towards the right side. Using a glue pen (Martha Stewart) I added glitter where I wanted it on the sentiment. Then I sprinkled Shabby Pink embossing powder straight onto the tag, and heated it from underneath to melt it in chunky splotches.
I stamped the Dahlia again in the top right corner of my teal card stock, and used Clear EP to emboss it. I added the tag to the card using dimensionals, and a bit of bling in the corner. My fab sheer pink ribbon has sparkly bits on the edges, and the lace adds a bit of contrast.
I hope you get a chance to play along!
