Best day ever

 There were a few sales on line while I was recovering and couldn't get up much, I ended up placing an order and one of the things I purchased were these rub ons, I thought they were so pretty, only really saw them on scrapbook pages but knew they would look great on a card too.  I paired them with some ephemera I already had to make this card.


I first started out by applying some ink very softly to the background, then I laid out how I wanted it to look and then added the stitching, leaves and beads (bottom right) rub ons.  I added foam tape to the flowers and the banner that came from the ephemera pack and lifted the wings a bit and added that directly to the card.  Topped it off with some green bling.

  • 49 and Market - Vintage Artistry, Blush & Sage rub ons
  • Simple Stories - Bits & pieces, Simple Vintage Garden district ephemera pack
  • Green gems
  • Peeled paint distress ink on background

 

 I so love how this turned out.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today and say Hi,

Connie

Oh, gosh, this is really beautiful! Your card design is exquisite with the soft shading and the ephemera which appears to be made exactly to go with the rub ons. Wow!
