I pulled out a very old Rubber Stampede stamp called Woman in Repose to make this card. I stamped the image with Memento London Fog ink on a piece of pastel yellow cardstock to match the card base. I found a piece of dark grey script dsp from Recollections and used that for the background. I used 3 embossing folders on this card. The card base was done with a CB Pinking Stitch to give it that pretty edge. The Smoky Slate verticle strip was done with another very old CB strip ef. I also embossed a yellow panel, fussy cut the flowers and glued them on top of the grey embossed panel, adding 3 basic grey enamel dots to the centers. I used a SU! square lattice ef on the 2 accent flowers at the bottom that were done with 2 different punches, adding 2 more grey enamel dots. The sentiment panel was done with a SU! Chalk Talk framelit die and SU! teeny tiny wishes.
I'll enter this into these challenges:
Color Hues #16 - Yellow and Grey
Let's Squash It! Challenge #7 - use at least 3 embossing folders and include a person
Thanks for stopping by and may your day be one of the best ever!
