I was on my way to an appointment yesterday when I had this idea to pair the Gown Die and the wings from Wings of Love. I just couldn't wait to get home to test it out! I pulled out some distress paints, stamper's big brush pens and pan pastels for my color mediums, then got to work grunging things up.
The dress is cut with the Gown Die from Pool Party cardstock. I stamped over the die cut in Versamark with the coordinating stamp from Masquerade and then used Pan Pastels to color it in, adding white gel pen accents to the bottom and bodice. The wings are from the Wings of Love set, and are stamped on a manila tag, then colored with a white gelato, a white big brush pen and white gel pen accents. The background is done with scattered straw and tumbled glass distress pains, then accented with some big brush pens to get a glow effect. The hope. dream. fly sentiments are also from Wings of Love and I used the same background technique, also adding in some distressed polka dots with the background strip from Better Together and the white big brush pen. I matted this with black, continuing with the distressed polka dot theme, then tied it together with some baker's twine.
The cream card base is done with distress paints and the same background stamp.
Was pretty much thinking of myself as I made this card. I needed a little reminder to hope and dream and fly, as I'm beyond tired from the cough and fatigue that the pneumonia is still bringing. There's only so long a mom and business owner can be sick without consequences, and I'm pretty sure I've reached the limit. Now it's time to fly. {grin}
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you have a wonderful start to your weekend!
