Hello! Just popping in with a new card I made... I am not motivated these days, so it's an achievement to make anything... I keep looking at cards on Pinterest, and get ready to craft, then my mind goes blank...
The sketch was based on CAS(E) this Sketch #111. Except I have just realized my panels are all wrong... oh, well... can't we call it creative freedom? If you turn it 90 degrees to the right, it could work...
CRAFTING TIPS:
1. Add a little color to your background with the Spritzer Tool. It doesn't need water, so it won't buckle the card stock. It's also a much softer and subtle look. I have a retried SU! tool, but Ranger has one and you can buy it at Joann's or many other on-line supplies.
2. I love my label maker from EK Success (from Michael's with a coupon). My only problem is, that it doesn't stick to paper very well... it pops up after a while, so I have to use extra adhesive.
3. The texture paste was an after-thought... originally I wanted to add some textures, but by the time I made it to my craft room and started crafting, I forgot to do it... so when my card was all done, very carefully added those random stars...
I am also linking this card up at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Add a little texture (used different materials: washi, wood veneer, label, plus added texture paste).
Thanks for stopping by,
Monika

your flower is just lovely and it looks great with the b&w background, I have had the spritzer tool for awhile tried it out on scrap paper a couple of times I really need to use it in a card :)
