Hi All! The sketch
at CAS(E) this Sketch had me a bit stumped as it has such a strong element in
the upper right of the card. I tend to
put more weight in the bottom or center of a card. I decided to use an angel image embossed in
gold as the main element. I wanted
something light for the flag element. I
played around with a few options until I landed on a gold embossed sentiment in
a broad flag and highlighted it with a gold colored rhinestone and thin flag of
gold foil paper. It took me a while to
get here, but I’m very happy with the results.
This was a great sketch for me as it made me step outside the box and
stretch myself!
I wanted gossamer (isn’t that a great word!) wings so I
added a little Wink of Stella. Here is a
close-up so show the shimmer.
Happy Stamping,
Dana
Dana... wow! You did an amazing job with the sketch! Everything works so well in your design... I'm LOVING it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joing Case this sketch this week... hope to see you again soon!
Thank you Hannelie! I'm looking forward to the next challenge!
DeleteFantastic version of the sketch! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your visit and kind words Robyn!
DeleteFirst of all, I love the faux gossamer wings (yes - gossamer is a cool word!) and I ADORE that image!!! The broad flag totally balances your design, especially with the gold flag that peaks out of the top a bit! Good eye pal...this is another beautiful creation! Great picture too - capturing Stella winking in a photo is definitely not an easy task!
ReplyDeleteThank you Geri! The natural sunlight definitely helps in producing better pictures. Too bad I'm a night owl and can't take more advantage of the daytime hours for photos.
DeleteA beautifully designed card that just works! (and a great photo!), Do you recall the origin of the stamp? I like it.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Dianne! I'm so glad you stopped in. The bought the stamp set (angel and sentiment) a few years ago, I think from Amazon. It is by Stampendous item #CRM224.
DeleteLovely! Wonderful take on the sketch!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting and your very kind words Leigh!
