wahoo! this week Lisa of Our Creative Corner challenged us with a photo to inspire... and boy was I intimidated at first but then I got going... I really got going... I got stickles on three fingers at one time, embossed with three colors at one time... found the perfect sentiment for my friend I'm sending this one to & everything... I'm calling it a success!
CardBase - DoodleBug Design Inc. Filigree Slim Pack
I made the rosette a while back when just messing around with cream colored cardstock that I sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Purple (not real sure of the correct name as I got it from the T.A. Warehouse and the label is gone but I LOVE this color)
Then I drug my Stickles Starry Night down the creases to make them sparkle.
I punched the gold & green Making Memories Slice Metallic Paper with an old Creative Memories punch & topped it all off with this Metal Crown from Making Memories.
Stamped with VersaMark
Embossed using Zing in Green, Gold & Purple
Sentiment Stamp - Unity Stamp Co. Doni' it with a Smith
White Ink - CloseToMyHeart Daisy White Pigment Ink
Butterfly Stamp - Unity Stamp Co. Moment by Moment
I smeared Stickles in Golden Rod, Purple & Firefly on the stamp then applied to the card, for the centers I dabbed on Liquid Pearls in Buttercup, Ivy Green & Majestic Purple... butterfly trails are Stickles Crystal
and Here is your Inspiration Photo from Lisa!
This, of course, screams Mardi Gras to me. and since it's a mask, I thought how fun it would be to provide a body to go with it! Now let's see what you do with it :-) I want to see
Goodness, you DID rock it! It's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding? That rosette was initially cream? That's crazy cool! I never would have guessed that. I love that you just went wild with this project, messy fingers and everything!!! :D
ReplyDeleteYour take on the photo with a head and then leading off by making a body is perfect. Your card for your friend is just superb Paula. :)
Thank you so much for rocking out another super cool piece of inspiration.
hugs to you,
