Believe it or not, but this IS the sketch from today’s challenge on Splitcoast (SC375)! It just got a little covered up. My circle had to be bigger and then I added the fussy cut dogwoods and poof! The horizontal and vertical bands mostly disappeared.
The images are all from DRS Designs and the Hope quote and dogwoods are a sneak peek of new images to be released on Sat. 3/10/12. I’m really loving these dogwoods! Here I stamped them in lightning black and very quickly added just a hint of shading w/ two markers then cut them out. I know, I know…most people don’t care for the fussy cutting, but I like it, lol. And I’ve gotten really quick with it. It took me about 7 or 8 min. to cut out the 3 bunches of dogwoods.
For the quote circle, I stamped the stained glass image w/ the lightning black then stamped the quote over it w/ black before die cutting it. The little left over crescent moon shape is what was left and I kinda liked it so I added some sponged on gold leafing and put it back.
The strips were stamped w/ the stained glass image and the gold ink and a solid strip added on top. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Fussy cutting the dogwoods makes for a spectacular look! I also love the monochromatic look of the card. Super card Julie.
Julie…..sorry I have not been blogging much lately, but my ‘good’ computer has been out for repairs for well over a month. This dinosaur computer that I am using freezes often in blogland….so I often just give up.
Happily, it is working so far tonight….and wow what a beauty it found here……love the layout and the serene, soft colors
Wow! This blog is really good. Thanks friend
