Hello again! Welcome back! It's Day 2 of The Craft's Meow March 2012 Release Previews. Today we're introducing Cherished by Nina Brackett. It's a gorgeously graphic set with beautiful sentiments.

We have another challenge for today. It's an inspiration challenge. You have until 9:00 pm Pacific on March 31 to enter and have a chance to win some cool prizes. Just link your card over at The Craft's Meow Blog.

Here's our inspiration photo.

 

Here's my card for the preview and inspiration challenge.


I stamped the main image on vintage cardstock and distressed the edges with ink. It's such a beautiful and intricate background. I love it. The lace trim is from M&J Trimming. The purple ribbon was just a strip I found in my ribbon drawer. I can't remember where I bought it from...probably from Joann's.


I stamped the flowers onto a purple card stock. I did this several times and hand cut some of the blooms. Then I layered the hand cut ones over the bunch with foam tape. I also placed some silver pearls on the flowers to break the solid color.




I made a banner for part of the sentiment. Then placed the rest on a label from Timeless Tags. I am loving the colors in this card. I had such a great time making it. Even though it was a little tedious cutting the flowers. lol! When it comes out beautiful in the end...to me...it's worth all the time spent hand cutting. :)


That's it for me today! I have more to come tomorrow! Join our challenge and win some prizes! You can also leave a comment on the TCM blog to win. Now go and hop on over to the other TCM girls' blogs. Don't forget to leave them messages! :) 

Thanks for stopping by today! See you again tomorrow! :)

  11. Hi Jean,

    You blew me away with this gorgeous card! I make cards more or less your style and always painted the flowers and I don't know why I never thought of using cardstock, you just saved me a lot of time, Thanks!
    Sometimes I am in a hurry and I keep doing the same things without thinking other alternatives.

    Cariños,
