Today's card is actually a case of myself. I love doing that! Do you ever look back at your older cards and think it might be fun to "redo" them? I was perusing old blog posts from 2007 and saw this card I made while on the DT for Verve. I like using black or dark grey to ground some color when working with white. It makes things pop!
Don't you love those eyelets and that gorgeous Hawaiian Shores twill ribbon? Yum.
The main image panel is glossy white CS on which I clear embossed the butterflies and floral stems. Then I sponged ink (actually Cool Caribbean *gasp*) on top and stamped a few more butterflies and some flowers using Summer sunrise ink. Pigment ink doesn't sponge too well on glossy CS, so I had to use a dye ink and Cool Caribbean was the closest match!
Image stamps from With Sympathy (the first time I've ever inked that set up!) and the sentiment is from Giga Guidelines (I cut the 'thank' and 'you' apart so I could place them under each other instead of on top of).
Thanks for stopping by today, hope you have an artsy day!
