Wrong, i couldn't sleep!! I thought for sure i would fall asleep, i was tired! So i finish reading a book, tried playing Nintendo DS... no luck, i was wide awake. So i though why lie in bed, i'll make a card!!
This is the card i made for CAS-ual Fridays challenge, which is a sketch:
I stamped a flower several times on pink pattern paper from my scrap bin and cut them out. I already had a card scored and folded, i was just going to use it to check if the size would be good, but i really liked how the pink flowers popped on the black cardstock.
I had a different idea for the scallops but it was just wasn;t working for me (and i wasn;t going to fight it at 1am!) So i just took the scalloped border i had punched and used a opaque white pen to trace the scallop border.
Then for a little sparkle and texture at the top i added black glitter dots to each scallop and some of the center dots on each flower.
I layered 3 flowers on pop up dots, and wa-la a clean and simple card .... when i was done about 1:30am, i hopped in bed and went right to sleep!!
Have a great day!!!

Those flowers look wonderful against that dark background. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFabulous use of color and it works so well with the sketch :) Love the gel pen on the scallop border, gives just the perfect bit of dimension. Thanks for playing at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteYum! I love how the pink pops off the black, too!! Isn't it great when everything falls into place like that?! So glad you were able to get that creative flow out of your head in time to fall asleep! LOL Thanks so much for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays!

ReplyDeleteLove the drama of this! The flowers just pop against the black & I love the white scallops.
ReplyDeleteGreat card! I love how you stamped on patterned paper....I love that technique but always fail to remember to try it! Your scallop turned out great!
