I’m probably a little late coming to the party, but I’ve decided that this year I’m going to attempt to take part in a card challenge once a week. I know that there will be weeks when I’m away from home when I fail in this attempt, simply because I won’t have what ever I need to hand, but I’m going to try.
This week I decided to take part in the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge again – the latest one #161 is a colour one.
This is a pretty simple technique. I used the die on a piece of Whisper White cardstock and removed the flower. I then placed a slightly smaller piece of Elegant Eggplant cardstock behind it to fill in the gap. The whole thing was then glued to the Wisteria Wonder base card.
I then die cut another rose from a Silver Foil cardstock sheet and carefully glued this in place.
The greeting comes from the co-ordinating Rose Wonder stamp set. I stamped it and the border in Elegant Eggplant onto a piece of Wisteria Wonder and cut it out using another of the dies from the Rose Garden Thinlits.
I did umm and ahh about adding some bling to the greeting but decided against it because it detracted from the silver foil.
The inside is simple – three stamped images of the smaller flower from the stamp set.
The dark purple rose outlined in silver looks stunning! Thanks for sharing your card with us at CC&S this week. Stef x
Just like Jane, I love the silver foil with the Elegant Eggplant! So classy and elegant (oops, pun not intended). Thanks for joining us again this week at CC&S. Caro x
