Lady who latte

Time for the Crafty Individuals challenge and this month we need to show some face... I have taken the theme literally and chosen a stamp with a human face, settling on a lady from the CI-285 stamp which I have associated with the "Ladies who latte" sentiment from the set CI-401.

I don't know what happened but, once I had stamped my lady, I moved on to the background and forgot to colour her. And once I had everything in place, I decided to leave the image uncoloured. Hey my lady is allowed to wear white isn't she?

I used a paper from the latest Crafty Individuals pad, Weekend in Seville, adding colour with Gelatos in Lavender and Violet around the outside.

The doily is from Dovecraft but I had to change the colour by adding some blue Gelato.

I die-cut a frame from White Wash Core'dination and a piece of "lace" from material both with dies from the X-cut set Trim Borders.
I shaped some punched/die-cut flowers layers together and added a die-cut butterfly as finishing touches.


The card layout is courtesy of the Vintageutfordringen challenge who had this sketch:

    Awwww! Beautiful card. Love the lady in white. She really stands out against all of the pretty colors of the flowers and embellishments. Such a great idea to edge the backing paper (no. 8 book) with ink to tie in with the other colors. Thank you for playing along with the Crafty Individuals Face Value Challenge.

    Je la trouve super belle!!!! Tu as très bien fait de la laisser en blanc, elle ressort encore mieux ainsi et c'est plus délicat, c'est vraiment bien fait.. Ton fond est très intelligemment et joliment mis en couleur "ainsi que tes napperons et fleurs qui s'harmonisent vraiment bien.. Un grand BRAVO j'adore ta carte!! Bises
