Wow, this week has really flown by. Today's card is another Challenge card, it is the Sketch Challenge for the week.
Now anyone who know me, knows I love Purple but in this combo it seems just a bit dark, can't wait to get my order with the new In Colors, I think I am going to love Concord Crush as it looks to be just a bit lighter.
The sentiment for this card from Heard from the Heart, was stamped with Black Stazon onto Paper Vellum (101839 $5.95 ) and wrapped around the Elegant Eggplant layer. When working with Vellum, one has to think about how to attach it as any glues will show through so brads or covering the glued part with different embellishments is another way to go. The focal point on this card is one of the flowers from Flower Fancy, a two step set. I really love Two Step sets, the images have depth and a more handpainted look. Try them tone on tone, stamping the line image, full strenght and then the solid image stamping off once to lighten the image. Or use two different colors one lighter than the other like I did here. I first inked up the line image with Elegant Eggplant and Old Olive markers, and then the solid stamp with Perfect Plum and Certainly Celery markers and using my Stamp a ma Jig, stamped it over the line image.
Happy Stamping,
