Hi Everyone.
Very quick post for you tonight 🙂 I saw this great sketch across at FreshlyMade
Now… I love the sketch but….. I don't have any edging dies, so I ended up with the largest oval that I had, but it didn't cut end to end on a 5.5" card! So, I had to improvise.
One of the new sets that I got from SU recently is Botanical Prints. I love the stamps. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the paper or the little wasps/bees that come with the bundle… however, this sketch gave me the perfect excuse to get out of my comfort zone and….. ok… the earth is going to stop spinning… I didn't use white anywhere on the card! Nope… not a single piece… well, at least not on the outside! 🙂 The lemons might look white on the DSP, but they really aren't. They are a soft grey.
Here's my card:
As I used a dark grey base, I needed to add a white insert for the inside.
I'll be back tomorrow with another card. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs
Jaydee
