I've been wanting to try another one of these "lace edged tablecloth corner" cards. I'm not sure what else to call them though I've done a few of them.
- I was excited that the new Designer Series Paper would be on the demonstrator pre-order earlier this month, partly because I couldn't wait to use it as a background to take my card photos AND because it is also full of woodgrain prints that I can use for these "table scene" cards. Both the card and the background in the above photo use this paper.
- I arranged the die cut lacey rectangle over my woodgrain covered 4" x 6" card base, trimmed the part that would cover the top of the card and then stamped it with a portion of the bouquet stamp using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
- I colored with Lovely Lipstick Blends Combo along with the Mossy Meadow combo, Balmy Blue Combo and the Light Night of Navy Blends to deepen the light blue flowers. I've often found success using the Light Night of Navy as a fill in for Blueberry Bushel. I also added a little Crumb Cake combo for the background and I think this really ties it in to the woodgrain background.
- The greeting comes from a great new set, A Grand Kid, and would make a great graduation card. While three of the eleven stamps are very specific to grandchildren, the other eight would lend themselves for use in multiple relationships. Check out the thumbnail at the bottom of the page to see the rest of the greetings.
- I did this for a color challenge that designated enamel dots for "dessert". The Happiness Blooms dots would have worked really well for this but since I'm apparently out of them I used the Dark Lovely Lipstick Blends to color some of the retired/Gold Glitter Enamel Dots and they filled in perfectly.
Here are a few more shots:
