Tonight was a challenging night. Do you ever start playing with a set that you have seen lovely cards made with, and then just flat feel like you can't make it work? That was me tonight! I finally came up with one that pleased me, but you should see the pile of discards on and around my desk! (I have to say that it isn't the stamp set--it was user error. Ü)
On this Stem Silhouettes card, I used Blue Bayou and Soft Sky card stock, along with white. I used Blue Bayou ink to stamp with, and used a stippling brush with Soft Sky ink to add just a hint of color behind the blooms. I used the Aida Cloth background for the bottom two-thirds of the card, and the same stems that I used in the focal image to stamp the top part of the background. The sentiment is from a hostess level one set, So Many Sayings. This is a fabulous hostess set simply because almost all of those little sayings can be punched with the Word Window punch. (I just trimmed my sentiment tonight. but I often use the word Window punch.)
For accessories I added some Soft Sky stitched grosgrain, a tiny bit of clear stickles on the blooms, and some of these blue pearls. I used the ticket corner punch and a small corner rounder as well. I hope you have a lovely day!
