This is a very simple card that I put together in probably 10 minutes. I made the center "image" by using a brass stencil and my Cuttlebug. You can use your Cuttlebug with brass stencils in several ways, but the way that I did it was by cutting up those rubber cookie sheets. It comes out pretty well. After I embossed it, I used silver and lavendar ink to get the effect that you see. Then I just added a layer and placed some rhinestones. Like I said, very simple, but still elegant.
I'm submitting this to a couple of challenges:
- ABC Challenge - for O is for Orderly - I balanced the rhinestones and the image itself is pretty balanced
- Color Throwdown - for Throwdown #43 Lavender Lace, Old Olive, and Elegant Eggplant - I tried to come as close to the palette as I can
