Here is my card for the OLW70 challenge at one of my favorite blogs (Simplicity One Layer Wednesday 70: Red and White ) I was surprised by how difficult it was to come up with a design that worked, but I'm pretty happy with the look of the final result. However, I think I made a mistake - I used Pigment ink on glossy paper, and I'm very much afraid that it will smear...I started by stamping the Pointsettas on the corners, and then added the sentiment. Some of the smaller flowers did not stamp cleanly (they smudged), so I filled them in with a Sakura red glaze pen. I considered spraying the card with a fixative, but then I would lose the shine of the glossy paper. Oh well. At least the design came out nice.
Stamps: DD0014 Pointsetta Bunch (Prickly Pear)
Sentiment: GR1145 Warm Your Heart (Stampabilities)
Ink: Scarlet Pigment (Color Box)
Paper: Glossy (unknown maker) Probably glossy paper was a mistake
Other: Sakura Red Glaze Pen
I like your created border with the flowers! And filling in some with pen makes the card pop a little more. Good move!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a really elegant card - I do like the way you've some poinsettias filled in and some open! The sentiment looks fab!
