We will be enjoying a nothing-but-blue-skies-beautiful day off today - it's a Canadian holiday honoring Queen Victoria - but I thought I would pop in before anyone wakes up with a card I made over the weekend...
Here's another great sketch from the
retro-sketches challenge blog:
and here is my take on it:
I started out with a kraft cardstock base, and added a mat stamped with Wplus9's knit background (in autumn rose ink).
For the focal mat, I stamped the greeting first (from Paper Smooches' "pretty momma" set) and then stamped florals (from Lawn Fawn's "blissful botanicals") all around in a slightly lighter brown ink. To tie it all into the knit background layer, I stamped a few solid flowers in the same autumn rose ink. I also stamped my favorite Hero Arts' envelope pattern background over-top (I think if you click on the picture to enlarge it, you might faintly see the nice detail that it gives.)
Thanks for peeking!
