Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I am excited to be participating in Kylie Bertucci's International Project Highlights for December. The theme is Thank You - showing your appreciation to some one that has helped or inspired you is as easy as sending a hand made creation.
My initial idea was to reuse a sketch that I have used before to create my card. Straightforward I thought. However, somewhere along the way I changed my mind and created something completely different. At the outset my desk was clean and tidy but even though I have now got a finished card and a couple of part made cards (now safely put away to complete another day!) I have also ended up with a very messy desk. Best laid plans!
I have used two of the colours used in the Peony Garden papers; Basic Gray and Petal Pink. Don't they work well together? The papers elegant and beautiful and it was really satisfying to be able to use up some of the small pieces that I had saved from an earlier project to make this one. I used the Stitched Shape dies to cut out four sqaures and mount them onto a Basic Gray layer, which really helps to make them pop. The all over print is mounted on to a Petal pink layer, which in turn is mounted on to a Basic Gray card base.
The sentiment is white heat embossed to emphasise the white sketch lines in the DSP and mounted on to a Petal Pink label made witht the Banners Pick a Punch. A trio of Elegant Faceted Gems and a little piece of ribbon finish the card off. I am happy with my card (even though the process was a bit chaotic - tell me I'm not alone!) and I hope you like it too. I know who I'm going to send it to, so I hope they like it as well.
This card will appear in the International Project Highlights Gallery which you can visit for more inspiration. When you visit the gallery you will see that you can vote for your favourite five projects. At the end of the voting the Top Ten winners will be invited to take part in an International Blog Hop at the end of December. I would love to take part on the hop, so I would really appreciate your help. Please would you visit the gallery and vote for my card?
