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

Wow!このダイ、私も大大大好きですが(’だい’だらけ・笑)、いつも捨てている方をこんなふうに使う何て考えても見ませんでした。
本当にMakiさんの作品からは、学ぶことが沢山です。
