This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...
I decided to revisit the color challenge in my creating of this card. I really struggled and was not pleased with my previous results, but am pleased with this card! Anyway, background is stamped with French script. Sentiment is by Stampabilities. Flourishes are rub ons by American Crafts (and they match perfectly in real life). White strip is by Doodlebug Designs -- they are called "Paper Frills" and I found them at my local scrap store last time I was in there and thought they looked like something cool I could use. Stitching was done on a whim at the end and I think it adds something cool to the card. What do you think? Better than my other color challenge card for sure!!!
