Hello again! Julee Tilman gave us a fun sketch over at Mojo Monday this week. It proved a bit of a challenge for me - I think I went through 3 iterations before ending up with the final version. But I like what I ended up with.
Initially I started out with the idea of using the colors of gold, black and Mint Macaron but the colors just didn't look good together to me, so I ditched the Mint for Bermuda Bay. I know a lot of people love this new In Color but I'm having a hard time warming up to it. Anyway, after I settled on the colors, here's what I ended up with.
The medallion and dragonfly were both stamped in Versamark, then heat embossed with black and gold embossing powders, respectively. The dragonfly was then trimmed with paper snips. The Bermuda Bay flowers beneath the sentiment were stamped off once before stamping on Whisper White, then the sentiment was added in Memento Tuxedo Black.
The embossing, the gold striped vellum and the rhinestones all made this a bit fancy, so I think it would be well used for an anniversary or wedding card.
Thanks for your visit today! I'd love to hear from you if you have a moment to leave a comment. Use the link above to check out all the fabulous inspiration on the Mojo Monday blog.
Hugs,
