I have another design today that features a stamp from the beautiful Mackintosh Windows A5 set.
The background is Evergreen Bough Distress Ink using an Acrylic Block. I over stamped using a fragment from Texture Fragments with the same ink. The Mackintosh window was embossed with black and coloured with Picked Raspberry & Evergreen Distress Inks (using a craft mat, water & brush).
I cut thin strips of black card stock and placed them randomly behind the main image. My original plan was to place them straight, but I bumped the card which caused them to move and I liked how they placed themselves :) I popped up the window over top. 'Best Wishes' is from Loving Sentiments.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day,
Shirley
Really great card Shirley. I love the background colour you have chosen. The more random placement of the black strips has worked really well. I love the watercoloured effect on the window, Really like looking through handmade glass. Elaine x

ReplyDeleteLove the colours on this card Shirley. Love the lines too.
ReplyDeleteThat texture fragment really highlights the dotty centres of the flowers ever so well & the colours are very striking with the black mat & strips.

This is lovely, pink and green are such pretty complementary colours, and I love the texture fragment which you have used on the background. The black stripes give the look of leaded glass and that Mackintosh feel but with a twist. I also like the bright pink Picked Raspberry DI in the flowers on the main image which is echoed in the base card. x
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and the striping gives it a perfect depth!
