Another ombre flower background

I made a card with an ombre flower background last week, but it was a little bulky to mail it to my friend. So I made a simple and thin version today.

I like this better. 😊

Here's a close-up:

CAS(E) this Sketch #206 - Part 2

I enjoyed yesterday's project so much that I played with the same sketch (CAS(E) this Sketch #206) using Zig clean color real brush markers this time.

I used exactly the same layout, the stamp and the sentiment, and yet the card tuned out to look so different.

I heat-embossed the image in clear instead of gold today, and colored the shoe using the brush markers and a watercolor brush. I thought about adding a stitched frame or a few sequins to the front panel, but I decided not to. I left it clean and simple.

Stamp: Fabulous You (Stampin' Up!)
Paper: Bristol Smooth White (100 lb)
Ink: VersaMark (Tsukineko), Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers (Kuretake - 061, 025, 021, 070, 050, 045, 042, 036, 032, 091)
Accessories: Clear Ultra Fine Embossing Powder (Hero Arts), Artist Brushes (Ranger)

CAS(E) this Sketch #206

I have some stamps I love even though they're discontinued. This pin-heel stamp is one of them. I love shoes for one thing 😉, and I love the detailed design.

I looked for a sentiment stamp which would match the elegant image, but I couldn't find any good ones in my stash, so I made my own and printed it on the cardstock.

My card design is based on the CAS(E) this Sketch #206.

Stamp: Fabulous You (Stampin' Up!)
Paper: Bristol Smooth White (100 lb)
Ink: VersaMark (Tsukineko)
Accessories: Metalic Gold Rich Pale Embossing Powder (Wow), Strawberry Burst Sequins (Pretty Pink Posh), Multi Medium Matte Glue (Ranger)
