How does Wednesday get here so fast? It seems like only yesterday I was figuring out what to do with all my scraps and tidbits, and here we are again.
So this week I had a lot of scraps from a card I was developing for my Card Club. It was NOT going well 😒
And this is what I had to work with:
I created a card using
Healing Hugs, a beautiful DistINKtive stamp that layers colors to create dimension even though you are only stamping one time. But I was having a lot of problems getting the roses where I wanted them. So I had lots of leftover, incomplete, card fronts and a number of cut out roses. Where to begin:
Playing with a layout. I LOVE that
Mini Striped Ribbon in Gorgeous Grape! And the
Stitched Labels Framelits looked like a good base.
But the plain white background is lacking...
Better...but still needing something...
Ah yes - the leaves. OK, starting to come together. Can you see it?
Background color?
Gorgeous Grape makes it pop, but...
not so much on a
Highland Heather base.
There we go...some
Granny Apple Green does the trick.
Now with the ribbon; I just need to build my elements.
Getting there...
A simple sentiment, from
Varied Vases, and cut with the Stitched Labels Framelits. (Yes, Nancy, I'm thinking of you because I know this is your FAVORITE sentiment for cards - NOT!). 😂
OK, let's call it a day.
Glamour close up - can you see the Wink of Stella on the flowers?
And that does it for another "What's On the Desk?" Wednesday. I hope you like seeing my creative thought process and my finished product. Won't you leave me a comment and let me know?
