I have been busy with projects that I can't show you yet, but last night I decided to create something for The Shabby Tea Room - I saw their inspiration challenge for this week and my fingers were itching to use the Layers of Color Merci Bouquet and Flutterescent images.
I was given some of these cards with the windows in them - I don't know the right term, but decided it was time I used a few of them!
I also used a negative from a Nestiblities Oval that was lying around on my desk, in THAT EVER GROWING PILE of scraps!! I lined the oval window with the smaller negative and sponged around the edges.
Using the page from a Hymnal, I inserted it inside the oval and lightly chalked in brown over the actual music and then added a butterfly from the Flutterescent Clear Art Stamps and added a portion of some pearl swirls!
I finished off with one of the images from Merci Bouquet Clear Art Stamps, stamping it around the edges, giving the impression of a frame! How easy was that!! I love the more eclectic look of cards and enjoy the creative process with them, but I have to say it was great being able to make this one so easily and still keep that vintage feel - what do you think!?!?
You can see more of my projects in my Layers of Color Gallery, while you are there make sure you check out the other Design Team galleries there is so much inspiration waiting to be discovered. You are invited to join us on our SNR Group where there is lots of fun and chatter (No surprises there I know!
