365 Cards - Day 59 and Card Patterns Sketch 12

This is the sketch for this weeks Card Patterns challenge # 12, this is the first time I have entered this challenge but I liked the sketch so I thought I would have a go.



I am using this sketch to make a card which will also double for the challenge on 365 cards

Todays challenge on 365 Cards is 'A Certain Sentiment' the object is to use a sentiment you wouldnt normally use so you have different cards for unexpected occasions.

Today's sentiment is 'I Miss You' or something similar

Here is my card



I took a white base card and layered it with PP from DCWV Wedding stack, added the next layer which is SU card in Lavender lace. I cut a strip of another PP from the same stack to add on top of the card layer.

I layered my silk flowers and held them together with a brad, positioned one each side of the card leaving a gap between them.

The sentiment was also used by Mandy on her card, she very kindly left the link to the website so I went and downloaded of for myself. Once printed I matted this onto a small piece of the SU card and added it to the bottom of my card.

I used my Cricut to cut a small heart at 1.5" stuck a pearl heart to the top of it and placed it into the gap using 3D pads.

Hope you like it

That is really lovely, I love the silk flowers, they make it look really luscious and sophisticated.

You are welcome to the link to Bethany's blog, it really is a fabulous resource. There is a link to another word art source on the sidebar of my blog, Melanies Digital Creations. She does loads of freebies too.
