This card is a congratulatory card for some dear friends who have gotten engaged and are getting married in August. I chose to take up the challenge from Simply Stampin' (#60) and create a monochromatic card with a splash of a different colour. I also used my oval dies to fit in with challenge #53 (use Punches or Dies) at CAS-ual Fridays.
I went for a muted blue colour scheme, using a combo of Night of Navy, Baja Breeze and Bashful Blue. The splash of a different colour came courtesy of my Wisteria Wonder ruffled ribbon, which I layered with Night of Navy ribbon.
I used the bird image and a sentiment from Silhouette Sentiments, stamped in Night of Navy on Bashful Blue card. The Baja Breeze panel has been dry embossed using the striped embossing folder from Stampin' Up! and mounted on dimensionals. To add a touch of sparkle I placed basic rhinestones around the central image.
Love your card! The bird image is just perfect for those oval dies! Love that bit of bling on the border. So glad you could join in the fun this week at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteLove the card Rozelle . I like the way that you have used the gems around the oval die - makes it stand out

ReplyDeleteHi, Rozelle! This is absolutely FABULOUS! I LOVE the dry embossing--and your monochrome is amazing! I noticed you left me a comment about having a difficult time with the velveteen stamping technique--anything I can help with? Email me at onastampage@yahoo.com and hopefully I can help you!!! :)
