I love the contrast of yellow and black and a touch of grey to soften it. For this card, the layout was inspired by a sketch at
The Cuttlebug Spot. I alluded to the three circles in the sketch with the two flowers and the dove that were part of a card set from Target's dollar bin. The embossed grey mat and black bow were from that same card set (I sanded the grey mat as it had a glossy finish that I didn't care for). The frame was done by using half of a braid edge punch by EK Success; the scallop circles were from an EK Success layer punch - I was planning on using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge (get it
here - I always say its a must have) but decided to go Cricut-less today. I embossed the scalloped circles using Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. And all was of course blinged up using crystals from
Creative Charms (I love their stuff).
Challenges to feed my obsession:
- Die Cuttin' Divas - Pastels (pastel yellow)
- Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge # 128 - Animals (the dove)
- 4 Crafty Chicks # 85 - Material Girl (felt flower and dove)
- Sketches4All - Cheryl's Challenge # 9 - Touch of Black
- Get Inspired with Chatter Scene - Just Elements
- Cuttlebug Spot 3 - Sketch
- DYSU Challenge 67 - Glitter/Bling
- Totally Papercrafts Challenge # 112 - Things with Wings
This is the sketch From the
Cuttlebug Spot that started it all:
