STB #13

The sketch challenge in my last post was easy.  This one, for Seize the Birthday - feminine, was difficult.


I didn't want to go too literal with the sketch and that's the difficult part.  I ended up with this.


The paper on the bottom is a Core-dinations textured paper that I scored in quarters and then sanded the creases and edges.  The necklace is cut from the Paisley cartridge.  I stamped a flower on the largest bead and embossed it and the bow with silver powder. A strip of silver paper was used to divide the two papers and the PTI sentiment was stamped in Pumice Stone Distress Ink.  I struggled with this for days but now that I see it on the screen, I'm rather fond of it.

Thanks for stopping by to visit.  I love to read your comments so please leave one.

Love that you tried to not be literal with your interpretation ... and succeeded! Great idea to use a necklace for that element.

I love the way you used a necklace as a frame!! What a clever idea - and looks super!
