Happy Friday all!
This week over on the Daring Cardmakers blog, the challenge is all about balls – and not just the sporting variety!
Which suits me fine, because the first thing that came to mind was a grand ball of the Bridgerton type, providing me with the perfect excuse to go left field and create a card with an old Jane Austen stamp and die set from Papertrey Ink that has a bit of that Whistledown look to it:
Paper and ephemera: Pink Paislee – London Market (r)
Stamps: Mama Elephant – Birthday Messages, PTI – Simply Jane (r)
Dies: PTI – Simply Jane (r), Magnolia – Zig Zag and Scallop Lace Border (r), The Greetery – PreText Banners
I started out by grabbing a paper collection that goes so well with this set. It’s an old one from Pink Paislee called London Market, and I also had the ephemera pack from this, so a good opportunity to use some of those many accents you get!
The frame and cameo are from the Simply Jane set, and rather than use cream, I thought a nice subtle blush pink would work well for the frame and backdrop to the cameo.
I just needed a fitting sentiment to complete the card, so of course had to use this regal one from Mama Elephant’s Birthday Messages set.
And there we have it, card complete.
Make sure you check out the projects from the rest of the design team here, and play along if you can!
