SOS Fantastic Plastic

Hi, everyone! Back with a third card to share this weekend. Crazy, right?! Seemed like I'd lost all card-making mojo for a couple of weeks and now my mojo cup is overflowing. :)

Tonight's card was made for the current Fantastic Plastic Challenge over at Shopping Our Stash. And, boy, is that appropriate for this card. I'm actually crafting from the road -- with a limited stash. I sure am glad I put in that pack of vellum before hitting the road.

Canson watercolor base: Stampin' Up! botanical gardens vellum; Recollections black cardstock
Winnie & Walter sentiment in StazOn jet black
Distress Inks: mustard seed, peacock feathers, picked raspberry
SU linen thread; SU flower, owl builder, and cupcake punches

The photo above is a great pic of the effect achieved with the inked vellums, as well as being a good representation of the colors created by layering the paper and vellums. I inked the watercolor base in mustard seed. Then I inked the bottom vellum -- masking off the sentiment strip -- in peacock feathers. Finally, I inked the sentiment strip on the top vellum in picked raspberry.

Sadly, my on-the-road stash is sequin-less and gem-less, so I used linen thread to adhere the two vellum pieces to the card base. The colors in the photo below are a terrible depiction of the actual colors. However, the pic shows the final card design. As you can see, I used some black elements to strengthen the visual impact of the sentiment strip, as well as adding a few circles to "ground" the card's top.

 

Parting Thoughts

Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Thanks for stopping and happy scrappin'!
