Simply Stampin' time again guys. This week we are back to a theme challenge once again. And the theme is...
Monochrome with a Splash
When I saw this challenge in the list I thought of yay that sounds like fun, and I had loads of ideas. Then when I actually sat down to make the card all my ideas seemed to abandon me and nothing seemed to work.
Vellum Doilies
Stamp Set: Delicate Dolies, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Versa Mark
Cardstock: Wisper White, Elegant Eggplant, Velum Paper
Big Shot: Edgelits
Punch: 1 3/4" Circle, 1 3/8" Circle, Modern Label
Accessories: Pearls
Extras: White Emboss Powder, White Gel Pen
I was thinking about this "lace" card I made for a SSC a little while ago and thought I'd try to do another vellum lace type card. I stamped the doilies all over the vellum and embossed with white embossing powder. I cut out a frame in my card and inserted the vellum. For my "splash" added some elegant eggplant as a doily and for the sentiment. To balance it out I also added a few strips of edgelits near the bottom quarter and a sliver of elegant eggplant cardstock. I added white and eggplant faux stitching and pearls to finish it off.
What did you think? I hope you enjoyed it and will join in the challenge over at the SSC blog. Thanks for stopping by!

Great embossing on the vellum, it has a very delicate feel to it! Kirei x
ReplyDeleteThanks, in hind sight I should have used the vellum cardstock rather than paper as its a bit bendy and floppy! xx
DeleteYour cards always look so delicate and pretty Amanda, Love the embossing on vellum and the double diecut border.

Thank you - you can tell I made both last week's and this week's at the same time - both have that same double diecut border! :P xx
DeleteI love this use of delicate doilies and vellum paper, you have inspired me!
ReplyDelete:D I'm glad you have been inspired! xx
DeleteThis is so elegant and soft! The eggplant is a wonderful 'splash' of color and the vellum embossing is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThank you. :) x
DeleteThis is gorgeous Amanda, I loved your lace card and I love this one too! Definitely makes me want to reach for the vellum and embossing powder! So pretty, the pearls add an elegance to the card and I love the Eggplant as the splash colour!

Thank you! Hehe, I'll look out for vellum and embossing cards on your blog then! :D x
DeleteWow - this is an amazing card and would love to look at it in "real life". I love how you cut out behind the vellum so it lets the light shine through.

Thanks! The light really does shine! Its beautiful! If you're going to try it I'd defo recomend using the vellum cs on paper as it really buckled from the embossing :/ xx
