A little too extra?



When I started this project, all I had in mind was something shabby chic using Grace's Garden and the Stitched Lace die. I expected faded flowers, to be sponging Crumb Cake and rolling edges, maybe a little ripping and tearing.  But no, it went in a totally softer direction -- I stamped the images in CrumbCake, giving a very ethereal feel.  The Crumb Cake won't hold up to much water, so I only lightly lifted color off the ink pads with a nearly dry Aquapainter, and applied it.

The Stitched Lace die cut is back with Soft Sea Foam card stock, which is then trimmed to fit the lace with the straight edge that's included in the Stitched Lace dies.  The Blushing Bride layer was pieced behind the Soft Sea Foam layer, also using the straight edge .

For the sentiment, I cut one die cut out of Soft Sea Foam for the outline, and cut again from Whisper White and carefully glued in the pieces.  The sentiment itself came from Free as a Bird.
