I created this card as part of my Doily Challenge. You can check out my previous card
here. I started with a large white envelope and created a black card to fit inside. I used a "rubber finger tip" - a stationary tool - to stamp a texture on the right hand side of my card using silver ink. It turned out quite good - similar to stippling!! I started with some teal fiber and created a layer featuring the colours in it - dark pink, purple and a light teal blue. I embossed the background with a script embossing folder, tore the bottom edge and layered it with silver paper (gift wrap). I found this laser printed floral image (one of my own doodles) in my stash which worked well with the dimensions of my background so I watercoloured it to coordinate. I added a layer of white to extend the bottom and then tore it to echo the bottom of the layer. I wrapped the fiber on the bottom of the floral image covering the joint with fiber. I found a coordinating greeting in my stash so I tore both the top and bottom of it, sponged it a bit with aqua ink mounted it over the fiber using 3D foam tape. I mounted this large focal element to my background. I trimmed a piece off of my teal doily to layer under my main focal element and then adhered this large element to my card front using double sided tape. The dark card reduces the contrast of the dark doily which helps highlight my flower image. Therese
