Congrats to Kristen! I chose Better Picture to case. I changed the images and colors but kept the floral theme and general layout. Instead of a separate sentiment tag, I stamped directly on my vellum overlay.
This is also for the ODBD 2nd Anniversary hop! We used a China Collection as our inspiration picture. I used the blue-violet pitcher for my inspiration and I used the new Our Daily Bread designs set. For the background, I did a gradient water color wash using Peerless water colors, going from violet on the left to pink on the right.
I stamped the violets a number of times on a separate piece of water color paper and used markers and a water brush to color them. After cutting them out, I used a stylus on the back to give them a little dimension. The sentiment was stamped on vellum and I used an embossing border folder on 3 sides and a border punch across the bottom with narrow ribbon threaded through the lattice. I edged the vellum with a white marker.
The violets were attached on top. I didn't want the vellum to warp, so I used the liquid pearls on another piece of vellum. When it dried, I used an 1/8 inch hole punch for uniform size and glued them onto the vellum. A white layer and a moss green layer complete my 5.5 x 4.25 card.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.
