I love sketch challenges and I hope you'll play along with us. Here's the sketch:
And here's my card:
I used two of the new stencils just released at last week's CHA summer show, Herringbone (LJ914) and Cameo (LL3017). For the herringbone pattern, I spritzed the back of the stencil with
Strawberry Daiquiri Memories Mist and placed it face up on the clear plastic cutting plate, then layered paper, and the remaining pads and plates to complete the "sandwich" and ran in through my BIGKick. (You will have to use the appropriate "sandwich" for your die cutting machine.) This produces a letterpress effect, which is quite popular now. When dry, I cut the sheet into four rectangles and rounded the corners. The cameo was paste embossed on Stardream Ivory paper with
glossy black embossing paste. When dry, I cut a scalloped edge around the cameo. Ribbon and an
embellishment pin were added before the cameo was attached. I'll add the sentiment when I know how I want to use the card. I love the letterpress look, and it's super easy with Memories Mist. I can wait to experiment with some of the other background stamps.
Have fun with this challenge and be sure to link your project to the Dreamweaver blog,

Very pretty! You and Laura both used the cameo! it is soooooooo pretty! Great job.
ReplyDeleteGreat card Liz I love the look you came up with, it is so beautiful with the pink and black color scheme. I love how the same stencil used by two people can come out so different.
ReplyDeleteLovely, Liz! I think that cameo is great done as a silhouette with the glossy black embossing paste.
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful, I love the letterpress look of the background! Very pretty
ReplyDeleteYour four panels in the background turned out super cool. Love that stardream paper for the cameo. The perfect touch of shimmer with the pop of black paste!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, the cameo looks great on the star dream paper, plus it's a great stencil. I do like how you used the herringbone stencil for the background.
ReplyDeleteThis is very beautiful. I find it really funny how we could have used almost the same elements (different background stencil) and similar colors, but have such different results. Great work, Liz.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you used the background stencil. And I really love the new silhouette. It came out great!!
