I love the grey, black, white and gold of Laurie's card because, let's face it, it is bold! Laurie also scored her front panel to emboss the diamond pattern on there. I'm not sure how she did it, but I have a fairly close version of it myself although it took several tries to get it. When I finally figured it out in pencil, I scored my panel following the pencil lines on the back side which left the impression on the card front. Then I used that as my guide for lining up my stamps. I also used the Guide Lines Stamp Set to have a smaller but coordinating image in the same style. For those images I stamped them in Versamark and heat embossed them.
Like Laurie, I used two colors of ink (Smokey Shadow and Lovely Lady) and two different stamps from the Giga Guidelines Set. I really like this design and it would be very easy to make into a masculine card using some blues or browns. I mounted this panel on a top folding card base made from Smokey Shadow Cardstock. Just like Laurie, I added some gold watercolor spatter to the card front using my Finetech Mica Gold Palette.
I used one of the Limitless Layers Circles to cut a circle and stamped one of the medallions I used in Versamark and heat set it with Gold Embossing Powder. I also used one of the sentiments from the set and heat embossed it as well.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today and be sure to go over to Papertrey Ink and see all the design team inspiration.
Vicki, your card is absolutely beautiful! That added little bit of pink is an amazing touch! <3
ReplyDeleteLove the card, Vicki! If you don't have a Scor-Pal, you should get one. That's the easiest and fastest way to add multiple score lines.
ReplyDeleteI have one and used it but you can't tell in the photo. What was hard for me was figuring out where to start scoring to get the diamond center and work out, but I got it. A mathematician I am NOT! I mostly use my small score board, but I have my big one for occasions such as this. I just forget that it's an option.
