I have a card that I would love to share with you that I just love how it turned out. I had won over at DL.ART~Thankful Thursday challenge a few weeks back and Diana sent me this wonderful pack of hand made silk and cotton paper. The patterns are so pretty and a lot of texture on these papers. I just love it! Thanks so much Diana!
My card base is 6 x 6. The base layer is cut at 5 7/8 x 5 7/8 using this beautiful gold paper from this stack. I used the papers from this stack for everything on this card except for the base of the card and the label the sentiment is on.
I cut the cream/gold flowers from the Art Philosophy cartridge at 4", the black flower is cut at 3 1/2. The butterflies are cut at 1" and 1 1/4 from the same cartridge which I distressed with Momento-desert sand and then added a little bling. The labels are from a Spellbinders die set-Label Nine and the beautiful sentiment is from Close to my Heart-Curly Sentiment set. I added some pretty tan silk ribbon and a pretty bow along with this gorgeous lace beaded ribbon that was left over from a kit that I purchased from Pumpkin Spice back in February. Isn't that beaded ribbon just gorgeous? Oh, I just love it, especially next to this beautiful paper. Thanks again Diana!
I am also entering this in a few challenges:
1.) DL.ART-Thankful Thursday ~3 layers, a bow and bling
2.) Docerela Creations ~Friendship card
3.) Paper Playtime ~Challenge #69-Delicious die cut creations using flowers
Thanks for visiting,
