This is my Design Team project for Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) Sketch #676. The CTMH paperpack "Love Story - Silver Pack" had some paper I've wanted to use for quite some time. My inspiration and plan was to use the 3-2-1 Recipe at Double Trouble but my final card ended up as a grey/silver monochromatic perfect for a 25th Wedding Annniversary.
I chose a scalloped hexagon cutting out the center with a smaller hexagon to make the frame for the focal point. The focal point was a flower that was right in the middle for the background patterned paper and the hexagon frame was approximately the same size as my focal point. The frame was adhered with 3D thin foam tape and from the same patterned paper the same floral was fussy-cut to use for layering and dimension.
For more dimension the leaves were lifted up over the frame, another sprig was fussy-cut and adhered with 3D thin foam tape over the same sprig on the patterned paper. Wink of Stella was added to the frame, floral, leaves and sprig which gave a little sparkle against the background.
To finish my card a sentiment was die cut using three different dies, layered 3 times for dimension and adhered to the bottom of the background. Again added Wink of Stella to bring in more sparkle against the background.
