Hi there! I've been working on this card a little at a time for the last few days. So glad to see I'm not too late to enter it for the sketch challenge at Card Patterns!
When I saw the three background panels, I decided I wanted to try something I saw Jennifer McGuire do for Inspiration Showcase, using an embossing folder for a faux letterpress technique. I inked up both sides to create positive and negative versions of the pattern, then stitched the panels to a piece of Wisteria Wonder cardstock.
The die cut panel is stamped with a label from Waltzingmouse's Vintage Labels 18 and a sentiment from WPlus9's Very Vintage Greetings and heat embossed.
I rolled a few cardstock flowers and adhered them to the label with some die cut kraft leaves.
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (Lemon Tart, Kraft, white), Stampin' Up! (Wisteria Wonder)
Stamps: Waltzingmouse (Vintage Labels 18), WPlus9 Design Studio (Very Vintage Greetings)
Ink: Stampin' Up! (Wisteria Wonder), Versamark
Tools: Sizzix (embossing folder, leaf die), Spellbinders (Labels 18)
Accessories: Michaels (pearls), Stampendous (embossing powder), thread
Thanks for your visit, friends! I hope you're having a great week.
