Hey guys....How is your day going??? Amazingly I'm up early and ready to tackle the day! Crazy right??? I admit I like to stretch my mornings out until almost noon. Hahaha that's why they call it Lazy Days of Summer right? Ok well maybe that's just me but hey that's my story.
Are you a fan of vintage? I just love the way this card came out, with the wood and lace textures...wow. Let me share with you what I did.
I started with a base of Early Espresso cardstock cut to the usual 5.5 x 8.5 and scored at 4.25. I then cut a piece of the Wood Textures DSP to 4 x 5.25 and on it I heat embossed the lacy doily image in white embossing powder. I love the way that the white pops on the wood paper. So I glued that down using some snail adhesive. I then grabbed a piece of Whisper White cardstock that was cut to 2.75 x 4.25 and on it I stamped the bouquet image in Soft Suede ink. Now you might be thinking....why didn't she use the Early Espresso to match the cardstock? Well my thought on that was that it would make the image too dark. I wanted it a little lighter than that rich Early Espresso color. I then just tied a length of Linen Thread round that layer using a doubled string. To finish off the card I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and cut it out using an oval die from the Stitched Shapes framelits. Now this card would be perfectly gorgeous just like this....but I had to add a little something more....a stepped up version if you will. Take a look...
It's a little hard to see on the picture but I added some pearl jewels to the card. I mean really what goes better with wood and lace that pearls right?
Here let me zoom that in a bit...
Alright it's still a little difficult to see but if you look closely hahahaha. This is one of those cards that looks so much better in person than in a picture.
I really need to pull out this wood textures DSP more. It's such a fun element to add to your projects. This card came out so sweet and I know the perfect person to send it to.
