I just love the main image in the set Bordering on Romance - so much so that I used it for two cards today! Here is the first card, which is for the color challenge over at
Create with Connie & Mary and the sketch challenge at
Freshly Made Sketches.
I've said it before, but I really like circle elements on cards, so the stamped image was the first part to be completed. After that, it took me a while to work out how to incorporate the Sahara Sand (although that is used to shade around the flowers, I thought it would be cheating if I left that as the only Sahara Sand LOL). Finally I came up with the finished product and I'm quite happy with it. I did make some faux brads using Sahara Sand 1/4" circle punches and Crystal Effects, but I was too impatient to wait for them to dry so I didn't follow the sketch faithfully. Maybe the ribbon is enough of an element in that area.
Products used (all Stampin' Up!):
Stamps: Bordering on Romance
Cardstock: Sahara Sand; Night of Navy; Peach Parfait; Just Add Cake DSP
Ink: Black Stazon
Accessories: Sahara Sand; Night of Navy; Peach Parfait; Always Artichoke; Early Espresso markers; circle cutter; Elegant Lines EF; Peach Parfait Ribbon
Cheers
