The half table leaning set against the wall in the inspiration picture seemed to resemble the half-circle on the card sketch. I used a large doily die cut for this element and embellished it with some light colored paper flowers with a big self-adhesive pearl at the center, bringing in the photo's floral element. I stamped the "heartfelt thanks" sentiment from the Frame It set on a notch-ended strip and set that on the doily, tucking the end under the flowers. Not my normal style, but I'm happy with how it turned out.
Materials Used:
Nordic Spring and Frame It stamp sets (Waltzingmouse Stamps); Hawaiian Shores and Aqua Mist inks, Hawaiian Shores and Aqua Mist cardstock (Papertrey Ink); doily die (My Favorite Things); flowers (Prima); self-adhesive pearl (Recollections); sewing machine

ReplyDeleteHaha! Lori, I can't get those mists to look right for me either. I always just end up using them to spray on my flowers. But I love your card....I always love anything with a doily or anything with that aqua blue! They are my favorite embellishments and one of my favorite colors!
