Hello Friends! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. My DD and I saw Dolphin Tale yesterday, and, Wow!, what a great movie! Makes me want to head down to Clearwater and see Winter in person! The card I want to share with you today fits the theme of that movie--Hope.
The layout I'm using is the Tuesday Morning Sketch #115. This week, they have an inspiration photo of a beautiful paisley tote to go along with the sketch, and for the entire month, you have to use pink somewhere on your card.
Heart Song Inspirations also has a challenge this week to use die cuts and/or a sponged background on your card, so I used a Spellbinders Lacy Square as my sentiment panel.
The papers, from the Best of K&Co stack, were perfect for the TMS inspiration photo. I love the muted colors. To pop up the sentiment layers, I ran scrap cardstock through my paper crimper, cut two squares from it, then glued them together with the crimps running vertically on one square and horizontally on the other. I love doing that when I have something fairly large that I want to pop up. It's really sturdy and lifts it just enough to add dimension, but not so much that you can see underneath it. The metal and rhinestone flower is a brad from Michaels. I found it in a set of metal embellishments at Michaels in their Christmas section. The rhinestones were clear, so I colored them with a Copic marker.
Close ups of the flowers, which I distressed a little with Distress Ink, and the layered scalloped edge borders embellished with Liquid Pearl dots.
On the inside of the card, I used a sentiment from the Verve Stamps Words of Wisdom set, and rounded the corners of the pink cs with my Corner Chomper.
And, that's it for now. Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
