Turquoise Thank You Card

Hello everyone,

Just real quick, I'd like to share my newest creation with you:


This card measures 6" x 6" First layer is cheesecloth inked with turquoise spray ink, then I added distressed piece of light brown patterned cardstock. Top layer is a piece of distressed brown cardstock textures with white paint. I used a sponge to apply the paint.


Next, I added two banners that I cut out of some scrap cardstock from my stash, added two handmade turquoise flowers embellished with jumbo pearls and a thank you sentiment cut out of very heavy cardstock.


I had hard time capturing the shimmer of the coarse glitter covering the sentiment, you can kinda see it in this closeup...


You can see in this photo how dimensional this card really is...


One more view of the finished card...

I am entering this card into following challenges:

Just Add Ink Thank You

and

I hope you enjoyed this post...
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by...

    Lovely colour combo, and I like how you've incorporated white to soften the colours. The die-cut sentiment looks awesome. Thanks for joining in the fun at Just Add Ink this week, Samra.

    That cheesecloth gives a wonderful ethereal feel to your card Samra - and the turquoise gives such a punch!
