...well time for something a little different I think,
that is different to what I normally do.
For this card I took my inspiration from a trip I made
to the NEC craft show in Birmingham last year.
I was fascinated by the use of acetate with peel-offs.
It gives the card that glossy shine of a peel-off
with the added depth and dimension of using 3D foam pads.
I followed the clean and simple sketch set by top tip tuesday.
The colour scheme was set by delightful designs, black, pink and silver.
Its a bit difficult to capture the true colour of these amazing balloon peel-offs
as they are so intensely glittery. They are gold label peel-offs by craft creations.
These colours also happen to be my favourite colour combo.
I have made this card to thank a friend for helping me out.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
My Mums Craft Shop Challenge 40 - favourite colour combo
Divas by Design challenge 18 - new beginnings/thanks
Delightful Challenges - black, pink and siver
Top Tip Tuesday challenge 68 - sketch
Thanx for popping by...
Keep Calm and Craft xx
I love what you've done with the sketch and those balloons are fabulous! It was a little difficult to see the glitter just from the post picture, but once I enlarged it..WOW!!! Wonderful concept and beautiful card for your friend. :)
