Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Inspiration with Karen Brown

Hi there, Karen Brown here and I am so excited to be on The Spellbinders Blog today! I have three projects from The Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken. This is a lovely set and each card makes such an elegant statement. The projects would be so pretty in gold and white, but I went a bit more bold with black and teal frames and then mixed in colorful floral die cuts.

BIRTHDAY WISHES VIGNETTE

For this first card, I wanted to use fun summery colors.  I die cut the frame twice using Teal Topaz cardstock. I then stacked the die-cuts and glued them together to add a bit more dimension.

Using Petite Floral Potpourri, I die cut a bunch of flowers and leaves in a variety of colors and then started trying different layouts. I layered different sizes of petals and like the effect.

I used an A7 card base that I made out of white cardstock. To finish the card, I added some small crystal gems to the flower centers. This is a big showy card and I can’t wait to send it!

Other Supplies

Crystal Gems, Liquid Glue, Ranger White Embossing Powder, Versamark Ink

ROMANTIC CHARGEOUR

I went for a dramatic look on my second card. I think the black frame over the Waterfall cardstock is very striking. The card base is 5 x 7”.

The Petite Floral Potpourri flowers and greenery are the perfect accents for the frames. I added some enamel dots to the flower centers for additional interest and dimension.

Other Supplies

Ranger White Embossing Powder, Versamark Ink, Altenew Enamel Dots

BLESS YOUR HEART VIGNETTE

As soon as I saw The Bless Your Heart Vignette, I knew I wanted to do some inlaid die cutting. I was going for a stained glass effect.

I die cut the frame in black and then again in Raindrop blue, Haystack yellow and Dahlia pink. I used the outer frame to die-cut my white base  so I could inset the black frame for my inlay.  Next, I inlaid the pink heart, blues and yellow. Initially, I had more yellow in my design, but decided I wanted more of the serene blue so I ended up using just six small accent pieces of yellow for a bit of contrast.
