Soft and Dreamy – Now in BLUE!

 

SCROLL DOWN TO THE END OF THE POST FOR THE FREEBIE

DSC03364

Hello everyone! I changed up the colours and made another “almost similar” card.…

This card too is based on the sketch at Skipping Stones.

DSC03359C 

The flower is handmade, the flower centre is a button. I have used Skipping Stones Pumpkin Seed to make the card’s background. I wanted a grungy and worn off effect for the stamp, so I applied ink generously on some parts of the stamp. Also smudged some of the ink around the edges of the kraft cardstock. Added a bit of silver string. I tried to give this card a shabby chic look, Forgot to place the pearls inside the leaves, like I did in the last pink card.DSC03362

The stem is made with glitter balls from PIE LANE. The embellishments used to make “leaves” are from my stash.

Hope you guys like it. I am pretty sure now I will be MIA for a bit as its getting hotter here day by day and then to top it off we have load shedding and other electricity problems.

xoxo

This is sooo gorgeous, ET. I really didn't think the blue could be anywhere near as beautiful as the pink, because I love pink, but I have to say that it's a tie.

Thank you for the great word art. Hugs sweet friend.
