The Double Trouble challenge this time calls for torn edges. I remember when I first started stamping, torn edges were all the rage, but now I can't remember the last time I intentionally tore paper. You know what paper is fun to tear? Mulberry paper gets wonderful edges full of fibers. (The trick is to wet a paintbrush with water and use it to mark approximately where you want your tear to be. The water weakens the fibers so they tear more easily.)
I used the sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesday, technically turning it upside down since I moved the sentiment to the bottom. I used dotted paper for the embossed sentiment and used the same paper to for the flowers on the die-cut. Sparkle seemed like an appropriate sentiment, what with the silver and the gems.
This card is for these challenges.

So pretty! Love the mulberry paper background with that lovely die cut flower. Thank you for sharing with A Cut Above's May Challenge.
ReplyDeleteLove the mulberry paper, and agree that fibre torn edges are quite an enhancement to our 3-2-1 Recipe "Sun Fun" and certainly a beautiful interpretation of our TSOT Sketch. The choice of your die and color are perfect for the background. Thanks for sharing with us at DTC and TSOT.

Oh - so pretty with the mulberry paper. Love the fibres. I like that you used the same dotted paper for the flowers and sentiment. Thanks for joining us at Try A Sketch On Tuesday.
