I've been creating with Cosette Scrapbooking Workshop Kit so when this challenge came up I thought oooh I love the Mulberry coloured paper.
I cut the mulberry lined paper into 4x 5.25 inch square and inked the edges with Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad.
I cut an oval with the Cosette—Cardmaking Stamp + Thin Cuts
and used a Round Sponge cut into wedges to ink the edge of the oval with Mulberry Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad. Then I stamped on the oval with the flower stamp and thankful title in Black Ink.
I used an offcut of Mulberry Cardstock cut to 4.25 inches wide sitting across the card. I wanted to line the edge of the mulberry cardstock but the Black Shimmer Trim from my stash I had was too wide, so I decided to split in half. You cut it to the right length and stick it onto the base of the Aluminum Cut Rail Paper Trimmer across both sides and then slice it in half.
I was able to finish with an uneven number of the Black & White Dots

What a sweet card. Love that the flowers were kept uncolored. It really adds to the soft, vintage feel.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I could have coloured the flowers too but felt that they didn't need it.
DeleteI love how you have softened the black with your pastel patterned papers and the sponged edges with pink too... pretty card.
ReplyDeleteI can't take credit for the idea, it was similar to the CTMH launch cards, they sponged the edges.
DeleteThis is very elegant with the black and white focal point on the flowers. Super pretty :)
ReplyDeleteNawwww... thanks for calling it super pretty. That is so kind of you.
DeleteI love this look! Soft and pretty with the pink. Love that you left the flowers uncolored.
ReplyDeleteI love the pink in mulberry it suits they black/white and grey colours so nicely.
DeleteLove how you used the flowers on the the oval! Beautiful Card!
ReplyDeleteThe idea isn't entirely mine, the idea was inspired from the CTMH launch cards. Similar ideas from the CTMH design team....but thank you for your compliments I'll take 'em!
DeleteVandra, this is such an elegant, shabby chic card. I love it.
