KS Monday & Emilia's KS Crew Challenge

Happy Kitchen Sink Monday, everyone!
Today's KS Monday is also KS Crew Challenge and we are so excited to welcoming Emilia as a guest challenge hostess!!

Her challenge (KSCC#16) is to make your project with decorating corners. What a wonderful challenge, Emilia!! Please check KS Crew Challenge blog for the more information.

Here is my take on the challenge :)

I decided to use the vintage die to decorate the corners. This elegant corner die is my all-time favorite!! As you see, I attached the positives on the corners of the background and the part of negatives (that were usually tossed away) on the dark purple square mat. I also added the yellow rhinestones and pearls on the corners.
I used 3 Step Hibiscus set and 3 Step Butterflies set for the focal mat & the sentiment and Big & Bold Swashes set for the background and the border. A little Stickles were added on the flower and butterflies. I used contrasting color combo - purple & yellow...now when I look at the card, it reminds me LSU Tigers, lol. I'm sure my locals would love this card ;)

The sketch was used from Taylor's Sketch challenge 76 (TECC76).



The images were stamped with these steps:
(Hibiscus) 1st - pale plum (stamping off), 2nd - pale plum, 3rd - perfect plum, 4th - perfect plum, 5th - elegant eggplant

(butterflies) 1st - barely banana, 2nd - summer sun, 3rd - elegant eggplant
