My niece turns 21 on Saturday which of course warrants an extra special card from Aunt Julie. Incorporating her favorite colors of lavender and teal I created this card.
For the background I alternated Peacock Feather and Dusty Concord Distress Oxide inks in horizontal rows. I die cut the lattice panel from white cardstock and adhered it to the top of the blended panel. The numbers were die cut from matte silver cardstock. The sentiment is heat embossed in silver over a narrow white cardstock banner. I die cut the florals from additional ink blended pieces, adding in a bit of Spun Sugar for a third color. I decided they were a bit plain so I ran them through my die cutter with a cover plate to add a bit of interest. The flower centers were cut from the matte silver cardstock. The panel was adhered to a teal card base and I finished it off with a generous amount of clear droplets for some shine.
Using many of these same supplies, I created a second card.
This one uses a kraft card base onto which I adhered an ink blended lattice panel using foam tape. I paired the Spun Sugar Distress Oxide of the panel with Faded Jeans for the sentiment and scattered diamonds. I finished this card off with iridescent pearls which play off the colors very nicely.
Your niece is going to love it, Auntie Jules! What I love most today, is that fabulous written in ribbon die-cut sentiment! Just love a company that provides dies for their sentiments, don't you?

These are both great, but the first one really calls to me! Must be the lavender colour. ;) Really I think it's the gorgeous ink blending!
