Picture the Light in Your Life!

Purple thank you

Here's a closeup of my latest creation.


It's another monochromatic card. I love that Caardvarks Core'Dinations challenge! I've used a 365 Cards sketch as the basis for the design:
I glimmered up some Core'dinations cardstock, masking a couple of parts to create a design with the original color. The card looks less yellow, more gold and more sparkly and subtle in real life.



The card also works for the following challenges:

ABC Challenge: T is for Thanks
365 Cards: Favorite color
Papertake Weekly: Do Something Different (masks)

Here's some detail on the card. After using a Cuttlebug embossing folder, I sanded the raised sentiment to show the lighter purple of the cardstock core.


The original pictures are more true to color, but... After moving to a different light source, I got some pictures that I think make the card look sparkly... or at least gold instead of yellow!



Supplies:

Cardstock: Core'Dinations, The Paper Company
Paper: DCWV
Accessories: embossing folder from Cuttlebug Thanks set, Nestabilities grand lace border and In Spades Borderabilities, EK Success Moroccan Lace punch (inside), Tim Holtz "Regal" mini mask, Gold Glow Smooch Spritz
