My card for the original challenge post was in red, so thought for this one, I'd go to my favourite colour, blue.
I took a stencil and used a few shades of mini Distress inks on the stencil, spritzed with water, and created a stencil monoprint. Love the blend of the shades of blue!
I did a sentiment strip in a matching blue on vellum and attached it under a pierced frame die cut (cut twice and stacked for dimension). I added a few blue sequins for a bit of bling, still in the monochromatic colour scheme.
In real life, the sentiment shows up more but somehow it doesn't in my photo. Here's a close-up to show it better and to also show the lovely blend of blues:

ReplyDeleteBeautiful blend of blue inks on your stencil mono print, Susan!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of using a vellum strip for the sentiment, not completely obstructing the gorgeous background.
