Jane’s Doodles Challenge #8 - Add Embellishments

Hello everyone.  My blog is going to be busy today with not one, not two, but three posts! 😂  I’m starting things off with the next Jane’s Doodles challenge and it is to Add Embellishments on your projects.

While setting up my craft space after the restoration, I came across some old jewel rhinestones.  They remind me of diamonds and my mom loves diamonds, so those two thoughts inspired this back-handed compliment Mother’s Day card.  So fun! 😂

That particular sentiment in the Jane’s Doodles Mother’s Day set (currently being discontinued, but still available at a phenomenal price while supplies last) makes me laugh.  It was white heat embossed on a scrap of black cardstock and fussy cut out in the shape of a speech bubble.   I paired it with the cute girl image in a new unused Jane’s Doodles set I’ve had for a while called Read All About It.  She was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah 80 lb. cardstock and coloured in with Copics.  Because I have long hair, I altered her to reflect this.  She was then fussy cut out.

To highlight and make the rhinestones “shine” in the background, I did selective ink blending with a blender brush and Picked Raspberry distress ink using a new Fractal Diamond stencil from Memory Box.  The Altenew Bold Alphabet letters were die cut from SU!’s Melon Mambo and black cardstock for the shadow.  Assembled the card onto a white card base to finish.

I hope my mom will understand the humour and smile.  Now it’s your turn to join in the fun.  Come play along for your chance to win a $30 gift card to the Jane’s Doodles store!  Thank you for dropping in.  Stay home and craft on.
