Do you ever set yourself creative challenges??
Well I did for this card... I pulled out a few Winnie & Walter stamps sets that
haven't seen ink for a while and then delved into my scraps box....
I found a few scraps of pretty blue card and saw a navy card base so I went
monochromatic for this card. I used navy ink to stamp out flowers and leaves from
The Big, The Bold Extras along with a banner. I also used a couple of greenery sprigs from two
other sets which are a larger scale so I just used parts of the foliage.
To lift the images I added shadow and highlights with a navy and white Polychrome pencil,
it made such a difference. I sponged Faded Jeans distress ink through the Sketched Lines
stencil to add something to the background then arranged the images in a vertical swag.
The sentiment is from Reverse Confetti's Word Up set and just bends
nicely to fit the curve of the banner :) I'm quite pleased how it turned out and really
surprised myself how the simple shading adds a lot of dimension.
Thanks for stopping by :)
