After losing my creativity for a while there, I finally found it again when I turned out this card. I was just playing around again with my brayer and had reieved my latest order with the "Just Believe" stamp set in it. Nothing like a new set to get the creative juices flowing again, right? I pulled out my brayer for this card again. I am starting to feel more confident with it now. I brayered the night sky in varying hues of blue and sponged the bottom of the card in varying greens. I then stamped the silhouette image right over the top. I love the new satin ribbons in the catalogue because they coordinate so well with the ink and card stock colours. They are also beautiful to work with and make bow tying really easy!
Can you see the star in the sky? Looks a little loney, I know. But when we lose someone we love, thats exactly how we feel and thats what I wanted to represent. I heat embossed the sentiment in white and finished with a trim on the black mat using the new Scallop Trim Border Punch.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card Paula! The colours you've used are stunning. I agree, the satin ribbons do make bow tying so easy. Is that a hint of En Francais in the background too?
