Cheerful Thinking of You

I was inspired to create this card for the Hero Arts June 2012 "Thinking of You" Challenge.

 

The background is patterned paper called Peanut Brittle from Basic Grey's Sugar Rush collection. The focal image is created on vellum that has been colored with Ranger alcohol inks. I forget the exact recipe, but I think I used Wild Plum, Eggplant, and Stream.

 

Once the vellum was dry, I cut it to size. Then I stamped Hero Arts K5486 Flower Swirl Vine using Tsukineko VersaMark watermark ink on top. I heat embossed with Ranger seafoam white embossing powder. Then I ran it through my Xyron to apply adhesive consistently to the back of the vellum and adhered it to the pale blue matte.

 

I attached a purple ribbon bow in the upper right corner. I stamped the "thinking of you" sentiment from Hero Arts CL140 Thinking of You Messages onto Wrights twill tape using Tsukineko Memento Grape Jelly dye ink. I wrapped it around the focal image and matte and then adhered it to the card base.

 

Thanks for looking! :-)
