The card base had already been embossed with crackle paste through the Flourish stencil and was in the 'bits box' so I dipped it in Worn Lipstick, Fossilized Amber and Antique Linen DOX. I used Brushed Pewter Distress paint and my trusty finger over the embossed cracks - which gave it a look of Mother of Pearl! The stamped panel was a mop up piece, again in the bits box, that must have mopped up some Brushed Pewter stain along the way as it has a lovely sheen, I used Worn Lipstick DI to emphasise her dress and Wilted Violet to the flowers. The sentiment is computer. I used a dull silver card to mat.

ReplyDeleteIt looks like you've had great inspiration! The background is beautiful, lovely for the image. I know what you mean though, sometimes our creative mojo takes a vacation. Sometimes it's good to 're charge' :) I can't wait to get back into a proper craft room and have peace of mind again. Take care, Shirleyxx
