I'm so excited to announce that I've been asked to join the wonderful design team over at The Friday Mashup! This week Kasey has challenged us to make a girly card, use our favorite technique, or mash it up and use our favorite technique on a girly card! Did you get all that?! :) I decided to go with some girly colors and practice a bit more on my vintage/aging techniques.
What do you think? Girly, huh? I love it! I'm not that into pink, but I do love Blushing Bride, especially paired with Early Espresso! I did a lot of sponging on this one. I think I got every edge of all the pieces of card stock in fact! I also added ink to the raised areas on my embossed panel to make it stand out more. Once I finished, I gave it a good spritzing with my homemade shimmer mist! Girly cards need a bit of sparkle, right? :)
Stamps: En Francais, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Soft Suede, Early Espresso
Paper: Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla
Tools/Accessories: Big Shot, Vintage Wallpaper embossing paper, Fun Flowers die, Word Window punch, Modern Label punch, basic pearls, Early Espresso satin ribbon (retired)
