Trying out a new challenge today. It's Compose a Card with Becky. These kinds of challenges are harder for me because I never start with a sketch or predetermined mats, etc. Almost like working backwards for me. Anyway you can view all the details here. Basically it was the colors of enchanted evening and soft stone, enchanted evening as the base and stone as the mat. You needed to use satin ribbon and white embossing powder as well. Couple of things... I dont own any PTI soft stone paper (I KNOW! Shocking!) so I had to use some paper from my stash (not as good). Also I dont own Enchanted Evening Satin so I used the EE Bitty Dots satin, it was as close as I could get. The stamp set is Dot Spot and fillable frame (sentiment). You were suppose to use a button... I was going to but the pearl looked way better so there it is.... sorry, I have never been much for following the rules.
Michele, this is so pretty and elegant. Love the blue and gray together and what a great use of that big Dot Spot.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is so cool! I love the clean crisp look that it has too. Awesome work!!
ReplyDeleteMichele, I love it!
ReplyDeleteVery elegant. Love how you used Doy Spot! Nice job.
ReplyDeleteMichele, wise move to use the pearl as the center. This is a lovely card and I think the bitty dot ribbon is great to play off the several dots on the card. Very nice! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, Michele, just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteVery elegant!
ReplyDeleteHey, rules were made to be broken right?! Love your take on Becky's challenge, that embossed frame is so subtle but really effective! Mental note: order some soft stone card on your next PTI order ;D

ReplyDeleteI hope you feel a deep sense of grave responsibility, I just placed an order with PTI yesterday and finally caved and bought the dot spot stamp set, partially because of this card. :) This was so clever, great take on the challenge.
ReplyDeleteWow Michele! I LOVE what you've done with this stamp set. Oh man, I keep seeing such wonderful creations with it! …I will not buy, I will not buy…I gotta stop blog hoppin'!

ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I love the blue dots in the center of all of the white dots and the way you created an embossed "frame" around the image!
