Guest Designing Apearance at Scrappy Sketches

Hello dear followers and visitors :)

I am pleased to announce my guest designer appearance at Scrappy Sketches Challenge Blog. I am not quite sure when they are going to post my card on their blog, but you can certainly check out the inspiration they already have on their blog and maybe join the challenge while there is still time.
My project is a part of ongoing challenge at their blog and here is what I made based on their sketch that I shall show you in a bit...


Here is the sketch:



The flowers were hand made and inked with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink...


I arched the sentiment strip to give the card some extra dimension. I hope you can see the texture of the stamped and heat embossed vintage writing. I used white embossing powder and then inked that piece with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink...


And I made a box for the card...

I hope you will stop by the Scrappy Sketches blog to check out some more inspiration and join the challenge. There is only few more days left...

Vintage Monochromatic Floral Card

Hello my dear followers and visitors,

Here is my latest make:


I used patterned paper with doily and woodgrain for my background.


I used Jute ribbon with lace and handmade flower for my focal point...

And some lace ribbon and pearl string to finish it off....
