Happy Wednesday to all.
Today I played with the background of my card using the Irresistibly Yours DSP. I know that Sale-A-Bration is done but I am so glad I got this paper. You could also use the Fancy Foil Designer Vellum and and achieve a very similar result. So here it is...
I used the sponge daubers with Crumb Cake, then Wild Wasabi, finishing with Strawberry Slush. Rubbed it off to show the dots and then stamped the flower image with Stazon Black. I stamped off the fern and added some of the background elements from this set as well. I then cut this into three pieces and adhered to the mat of Strawberry Slush. Finished it with the sentiment layered as well and then added some little butterflies.
Here is the inside...I matted a piece of pink pirouette and added some goodies to the very bottom.
Ok....so my camera is in the "hospital" as I think I got some sand in it while away!!???&*(:^ Not happy with these pictures so I hope it will be back in my hands for next post. Note to self...don't put camera in pocket while walking on the beach...keep in case or hand !!!???
Here is the sketch.....
And for your perusal....some of the products I used today.
