Well I have to say today’s card was definitely a challenge for me. I am still undecided if I like it or not. You will have to let me know what you think.
I combined 3 challenges on this one. I used the sketch from Kazan at the 2 Sketches 4 You blog. I combined it with the Creative Belli challenge which was to add texture. For my colors I used Kiwi Kiss, Real Red, and Tempting Turquoise from the Color Throwdown blog.
The texture on my card is wall tape that I bought at Lowe’s. I have had it quite a while and hadn’t used it so I decided to pull it out. The roll is huge and not expensive. It is wider than my strip but I cut the strip in half. It is sticky so I just pushed into my glitter to add some sparkle. I used sticky strip to attach to my card and to hide the sticky strip I put glitter on it. The tape does not really have anything to “grab” the sticky strip so after I got it placed on my card I added some Crystal Effects on the ends to ensure it stays attached.
For the inside, the image is a third generation stamping. I wanted to use the swirl but it wold have been too dark for a sentiment or note so I inked it up and stamped it on scratch paper 2 times and then stamped it on the card. Here is the sketch and my creation.

So pretty. I love the background paper and what a clever use of the wall tape!
This is a really tough color combination, and I think you did a good job with it! The mesh adds great texture! Maybe adding a second blue flower/medallion nearer the center would help? thanks for playing the Belli Challenge!!
Love the wall tape that you used. I would have not thought of that. Love your card and thanks for playing the belli challenge.
