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!

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.

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.
