Hello crafting friends and welcome to challenge #19 at Lavinia World,
where the theme is always Anything Goes!
Every now and then you just need one of these cards. For me they're the hardest to make. I wanted this card to convey how sorry we, as a family, are for the loss of this young lady's husband, but since it is for a young lady, I didn't want it to be too somber, so I thought using these stamps and the light pink/lavender colours would work, and I think it did.
I began by cutting an oval template and shading in the oval using blending brushes and Distress Oxide Spun Sugar ink. I wanted it a little darker on the edges, so went over it with Distress Oxide Milled Lavender ink. Next I stamped the Dandelions using Versafine Clair Morning Mist. Then I removed the mask and stamped the Flutterbies, also in the Morning Mist ink. I adhered a piece of craft foam to the back, about a 1/8" smaller than the card panel, and mounted it onto a 6.5" x 5.0" card. All that was left to do was stamp the sentiment in Versafine Nocturne ink, and add a few pink pearls to each side of the oval. On the inside, I used the same oval mask and followed the same procedure. I left it blank so I could write my own message.
Here is a list of the supplies I used, each linked to the
Lavinia World store, for your convenience.
