I had a few challenges in mind when I was making this card. The first one was Paper Artsy where there are several inspirational posts during the week. This tag by Brenda Brown was the inspiration for my card:
I'm entering it into The Card Concept (shabby chic and vintage). See the big flower on the cake? That's the one.
At Simon Says Work It Wednesday it's Spring,
And at CASE Study, here's the gorgeous inspiration from Joni:
Images: Paper Artsy E Lin Brown 01, Ink & The Dog Mini 44 (script)
Stencil: TCW Mini Harlequin
Black lines: credit card
Inks: Fired Brick, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Tattered Rose Distress Inks, Versafine Onyx Black, Versafine Smoky Grey
Great tag, I like the subtle background, it sets off the flower perfectly.

ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful, simple but elegant design. I hope that you pick up a prize or two for it. I also loved that tag of Brenda's.
