This was a tough one to photograph. Now this is a glossy card, but my first picture (below) in direct sunlight made it look ULTRA glossy rather than show the nice true blend. There is a glare on the blue, so it looks like I didn't stamp it very well even though it came out great.

I can't find the name of the hounds tooth stamp I used. I know it's from Hobby Lobby, but it's not online. I will update this when I find it. The thank you stamp and hounds-tooth on blue are heat embossed with black powder. The thank you was stamped on the three colors and paper pieced. The paper on the buttons were stamped black. The buttons and frame were covered with Glossy Accents. The background black paper came with that glossy texture. I had it in my stash for years as well as the other papers, sorry, I can't identify them.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful take on the challenge, Kara Lynne! The use of colors and hound tooth are superb! Awesome work!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at your story-I can't tell you how many times I've just KNOWN how I was going to make a card and I ended up abandoning my idea and going in a totally different direction. And trying to get a pic that shows the card's details....don't even get me started. This is a beautiful mix of textures and patterns!
ReplyDeletewhat a great take on the card Kara Lynne. Great mixture of textures and colours.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly nailed that challenge with this card Kara. Love the houndstooth and the frame you have used

It happens all the time to me...start off in one direction, realize it's not working and have to go in another direction! This card is soooooo cool! I love the embossing effect. It looks like rain! Great buttons!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I love all that filigree behind the sentiment and how the delicateness of it contrasts with the bold houndstooth. Thanks for joining us at Runway!
