The Mashup was to use the faux Mother of Pearl technique. Alas, I did not have the appropriate materials to do it. I did try and make my own... two different ways... but neither of them worked out exactly as it should have.
That being said, I still wanted to do something a little 'extra' for this card, since I was leaving out the super-awesome technique, so I did some heat embossing on this card. I also added some pearls, so I guess I'm kinda half-way there ;)
Sympathy
I have been eying Bashful Blue cardstock for weeks, and just haven't found the right project to use it in. So, tonight I went to my Color Coach and pulled up the Bashful Blue card. Suggested colours? Chocolate Chip and Certainly Celery. I decided against the Certainly Celery and went with River Rock instead. What can I say, I'm a rebel..
So here is the "Mashup" Challenge :- Make a project using the "Sketch".
- Or Make a project using the "Faux Mother of Pearl Technique".
- Or "Mash it Up" and create a "project using the Faux Mother of Pearl Technique & the Sketch.
One last thing:
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Hi Tara, Great to experiment, it is one way to discover new things, even if it didn't work the way you wanted it to.

Very lovely blue roses! I would have loved to see some mother of pearl sheen on the background... too bad! :) Thanks for joining the Friday Mashup again this week.
ReplyDeleteTara, this is such a soft, elegant card. I love the bit of distressing and the texture. Thanks for joining The Friday Mashup this week.
