Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge


I'm joining Ellen Hutson's Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge just under the wire.
This week, the challenge is based on this photo for inspiration.


Here's my card. I was inspired by the black stripes and all that gold.


The stripes were made with My Favorite Things Striped Background,
inked with Black Soot Distress Ink and sprayed with water, then stamped on
watercolor card stock. 


The gold blooms and leaves were die cut from gold foil card stock, adhered to vellum
and trimmed out. I gold embossed the sentiment on a vellum banner and
finished off the card with a few gold sequins.

Thanks so much for visiting today!

  6. Awesome card. Love the uneven look of the striped background with the gold and vellum. Really dramatic and elegant.
