I present to you N@'s sketch:
Here is how I was inspired... for CTS #141:
Avery Elle's Beautiful Bow; SSS Stitched Squares;
Teresa Collins and Martha Stewart sequins.
you'll see I've used two embossing powders: H.A. white, and Ranger Gold. Here is a little close-up shot ...
My darling teamie, Donna Mikasa, asked me to do a 'tutorial' on this stamping technique, which I've used again today, minus the coloring, let's just say that it is in the works, Donna!
I do hope you'll have something in the works for the CTS gallery this week ... we love when that happens!

Loving this card--love how you have done your layers, and I look forward to seeing your embossing tutorial.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great design! Love the placement of the bow, off the panel and how you continue the ribbons subtly on the card base. The die cut square beneath adds some great geometry too!
