Just Because

Just finished making a second card for my class's Pre-Class Challenge 2. For this card we have to make a card based on this sketch.

I just love combining pink and grey colours, they go so nicely together. 

For the flowers I used Mama Elephant's Lovely Mums stamp set. I stamped the flowers on watercolour paper and then painted them with Tim Holtz's Distress Ink Refills. Then I fussy cut them out and placed them onto the card with foam adhesives. I hand stitched the scallop boarder, the boarder around the sentiment, and the little heart.

I used ColorBox chalk inks to stamp the sentiment. I first stamped it in Gray Whale and then in Charcoal hoping it would create a shadow effect. Unfortunately I lined up the two images too well and lost the "shadowing". Oh well, better luck next time, I guess. =P

Thanks for visiting,
