Anyone else get some crafty time this weekend? Last week when I saw the new Two Peas releases, I almost selected a kit that had bright colors, digital brushes, chevrons and splatters--all elements I gravitate toward. But then I saw another kit...vintage elements, muted colors, flowers. The kit was a little out of my norm, but gorgeous.
I decided to select the kit outside my comfort zone and came up with this card:
Aren't the flowers and butterfly pretty? Except for the Hero Arts sentiment, all of the digital elements are from Jen Reed's Antiquities collection.
I started off by cutting down a 5-panel frame into a 3-panel frame. I often don't think about cutting down supplies, but there was no way I could fit the 5 panels on a card. Under the frame, I layered distressed patterned paper, the floral/butterfly elements, and the sentiment. There was a lot of rotating and nudging going on. ;)
Here's a close-up:
I finished off the card with a pearl and sequin. I didn't have the right color of sequin, so I colored a white one with a Copic.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Absolutely stunning, Jocelyn! Good for you pushing outside the comfort zone :) I love the soft colours - so perfect for a sympathy card.
Such a pretty card, Jocelyn! I'm glad you made something out of the norm 'cause it turned out wonderfully and proves you can do anything. ;)
Wow. This might just be the perfect sympathy card. They're not fun to have to make, but you may just have to patent this design, I think it's that awesome.
Beautiful card!!! hugs...xoxo

Way to be FEARLESS! Love that you picked the kit out of your comfort zone; you're a designer who's not content unless she's growing. Love that. And your card, so great for a sympathy card!

You made he right decision in creating outside of your comfort zone. The result is sensational!
I thought I already commented on this card, I know I was mesmerized by it's beauty when I saw it! I don't know what I love most, the colors, or the layout, or your amazing collage art!! It is truly exceptional!
I usually steer clear of these types of design but you've used them so fabulously here! Really awesome and I love how they pop off that card base.
