Love for vellum...

Hi friends, I am back with another card today. I made a card combining a few challenges, well...that's how always do :D Actually, I feel that one can come up with great ideas after mixing up challenges. So this card is inspired by CAS-ual Friday's #126 - Color Blocks, Color Me #4 - Color me... Playful!, The Card Concept #2 - Add texture (I think my card type should be Clean and layered) and CASology Week 70 - Contrast. 

By definition contrast means arrangement of opposite elements (light vs. dark colors, rough vs. smooth textures, large vs. small shapes, etc.) in a piece so as to create visual interest. So, I used large and small shape  to depict the contrast and may be the colors can also be a contrast like green n orange.  So here's my card...

To make this I cut out a rectangular card stock as a guide for deciding the size and placement of the shapes. As is visible in the card, I used DCWV - Basics Card stock with Color me Challenge colors to cut out the shapes. Then I created dash lines on each shape, distressed the edges to add texture and stuck them on card stock in the desired pattern. Then I hand drew a smaller shape inside each bigger shape and cut it out using an exacto knife (these smaller shapes were cut through the card base as well), distressed the inner edges too. Then I hand drew the thread which was made to depict continuation of stitch lines on each shape. Finally, I added foliage leaf die cut of vellum... because of my recent love for vellum LOL (using Nestabilities Foliage dies), buttons and stamped the sentiment (from Paper sweeties set). 

  

It was fun to create this card :) Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)
