WOYWW 313: What’s On My Desk This Wednesday? My “Beautiful” Guest Design Team Card!
Happy June to you, dear friends! What’s new with you this week?
I’m excited to share that my Faith, Hope & Love was recently chosen as an April Spotlight Winner by the Design Team of Crafting By Designs. As a result, they’ve invited me to join them as a Guest Designer this month for their June Anything Goes Challenge!
I wanted to create something extra special for the occasion, so I dug through my collection of rubber stamps until I came across this lovely stamp set – Faceless Beauty – from one of my favorite Unity Stamp Company artistas, Angie Blom.
I stamped the image and the sentiment on Papertrey Cardstock and colored the image using a comination of Copic and ProMarkers, then searched for the prettiest ribbons, lace, papers and embellishments I could find to dress up my card! I distressed and layered the doilies and tags and carefully layered everything into place.
The rich turquoise creates a stunning backdrop for the layered elements of the card. The colors I chose for this card are all part of my favorite summer color palette.
Here’s a close-up of the “Faceless Beauty” so that you can see how the bling is woven into the waves of her hair!
Now, I hope that the sentiment on this card is one that each and every one of you will take to heart:
You are more beautiful than you could ever imagine…
This card was also inspired by Christina Aguilera’s song Beautiful – and I invite you to watch this inspirational video which features her song and lyrics!
Now it’s your turn to share your creations with us! What have you created or acquired this week? Whether you’re showing off your desk, your latest acquisitions, or your latest creation – be sure to share it with our creative community at one of our weekly parties as well!
Have an inspiring week and thanks for stopping by!
