I'm playing along with the
Tuesday Throwdown #81 for the first time, and the challenge is to create a card using neutral colors. This one pretty much meets that challenge. It's done in SU! crumb cake card stock and I used a piece of vellum for the accent. I started with the SU! Fabulous Flowers stamp set and stamped the image on the card stock and again on vellum with Versamark. I embossed the vellum with white ep and hand cut it and placed it over the stamped image on cardstock. I added some ribbon, blush pearls, a sentiment and a bow done with the Bow-easy. The smaller panel is popped up on foam tape.
It's been raining here in PA today, so it was a good day to stay inside and stamp! Thanks for stopping by!

Carol, this is just sooooo gorgeous! I love what you did with the vellum and embossing. That is such a yummy flower. Your pretty bow makes me wonder where I have put my Bow-Easy. Been forever since I've seen it. Such good organization, huh? :-)
ReplyDeleteIt has poured rain here today, also. And, I mean poured.
Glad to see you join us at Tuesday Throwdown this week.
Beautifully simple and so elegant, Carol! Gorgeous bow! I'm so glad you joined us for our 'neutrals' challenge at Tuesday Throwdown as your first time playing. I hope it won't be your last; we'd love to see your work regularly. :-D
