Challenges and Blog Candy


"Quiet Elegance" 

This is the Touch of Class Silhouette I downloaded from Stitchy Bear Stamps.   Honestly, the card is square and everything carefully measured evenly.  I just can't seem to get it to look that way in the picture!

Anyway, the card itself is gray, with black and soft pink paper all from The Paper Company.  I used a silver pen for accents and sparkle and Tombow pens to lightly color the garments. 

I believe elegance, class and beauty are rare commodities in this day of grunge and "distress."  This card is my attempt to create all three with this beautiful digi from Stitchy Bear.    Thank you Stitchy Bear!

I've entered this card in the:
1.  "Pretty in Print" Digi challenge at:  One Stitch at a Time.
2.   The Sparkles Forum Challenge "One for the Girls"
3.   "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words" at Order of Opus Gluei


Also, check out the August 31st Blog Candy available at Curly Bear Crafts.  Wowza! 

As always, thanks for stopping by and happy creating. 

Jackie

    Thanks, Sheridan. Good to hear from you! Do you think these are good enough to sell? I'd be happy to just make some for you if you'd want to pay for the postage to get them to you.

    Your sidebar says you're new to all of this, but it sure doesn't show! Your card is marvelous, the image you used is so elegant and your coordinating papers are refined and classy used with it. A great combo! Thank you for sharing this with us at Opus Gluei, please come back for more challenges with us!
