I used the Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series paper from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. I truly love this paper. There are so many things you can do with it! It is a white paper with white embossed patterns. I used the flowers and sponged inks over them. Then I wiped with a tissue to clear off the ink from the embossed part. I intended the peachy colors to be light pink, but I had issues. I picked up what I thought was a clean sponge, dabbed into Pink Pirouette, and started to rub on the paper. It came out peachy so I am assuming there was a light yellow on the sponge which I couldn't see. I usually take a piece of cardstock and glue to the sponge so that I don't mix colors. Oh well! I ended up matching it with a retired color, Blush Blossom.
I decided to do the sentiment with a curved banner. All you need to do is take a photopolymer stamp and position it in the shape you want on the acrylic block. I used Basic Gray ink because I thought black was too stark for the pretty colors.
You can get this paper if you hurry! It's in the Sale-a-Bration catalog and it's free with a $50 purchase. Click here to view Sale-a-Bration. Irresistibly Yours is on Page 15. This catalog ends on March 31st!!
Please let me know what you think. I love reading your comments!
The more I look at this card, the more I love it. Your sponging turned out beautifully. I need to use my sponges and Daubers more. I may add that paper to my next order. Love your layout too,
