It's beginning to look a lot like Wedgewood!

I made this card in blue as that's my fave colour and it wasn't until afterwards when people started commenting it had a Wedgewood look to it that I spotted the connection!


The blue card is Hunkydory's Silk Art cardstock, which I believe is something like 350gsm. The background is created with the gorgeous and ever so versatile IndigoBlu flourish stamp. I stamped in Versamark then used Papermania Tinsel White Embossing Powder. I actually applied the embossing powder after each time I had stamped the flourish so I could see where I was going. Finally I used the new IndigoBlu stamp Connor's Crown Jewels to create the topper, which was also with the same powder. I matted and layered on to some silver mirri card just to define the topper and make it stand out from the background. Finally I assembled all the components on to an A5 scalloped card blank.

I took this card to a recent demo and it received some lovely comments. I hope you like it too.
