Joining in some challenges today, I had a few things that I saved which I had made but didn’t use, which I thought would work with the inspiration photo at Just Add Ink #595 and the color challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare #487 – shades of green plus one metallic.
The background was made with alcohol ink, and the die cut overlay is from Altenew. I cut it again in silver, trimmed off the pieces I wanted to use over the white, and added a few pearls. I went with a birthday sentiment so I could play along at Seize the Birthday #234 – anything goes or optional “green and white” and the Divas That Cut Paper – Birthday.
I always have a hard time taking decent photos when there’s something shiny on my card. After about 4 different places I finally ended up under the card table so there was no bright light shining directly on my card or to make a phone shadow. My husband just shook his head but didn’t ask why I was on the floor taking pictures!
Very clever Melanie! I love how you’ve replicated the inspiration elements and the metallic blooms look great! Thanks for sharing at Just Add Ink.
I love that alcohol ink background and I know pictures rarely show the beautiful effects, but I think you’ve gone beyond what most of us would do in getting this picture.
So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas for our Birthday challenge this month.
Melanie, what a beautiful alcohol ink background you created for your background die cut frame… very pretty and love how you pulled in your foil in layering some of the flowers. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Dare.
