Papertrey Make It Monday Challenge #228 and Splitcoaststampers Card Sketch SC564

This is the first time I ever combined two different challenges into one card. 

I used the card sketch from this Wednesday's Splitcoaststampers (SC564) and used the technique from the Papertrey Ink Make It Monday (228) - Pearlized Blending. 

Unfortunately, the photo doesn't really show how the center circle is shiny and the pearl ex I chose to use seems to have covered up the ink shading.  The technique showed a clear pearl ex (I did not have this color).

Papertrey Make It Monday #227- Focal Clusters

I loved this week's challenge. I wish I had the die cuts for this set (backordered) to give the card more dimension.I pulled out some eyelets - haven't used them in a long time. Have they gone into stamping history?

I also like the idea of taking out a few stamp sets and seeing how they can cluster together.

Make It Monday #226: Creating With Stripes

I have been enjoying the idea of coloring the reverse side of embossed vellum - so I did the same on this card.  It did not work out exactly how it had on other cards using the same techniques.  I think it is because there wasn't much clear space left after embossing the super stripes stamp.  In the end I colored in the back and the front of the embossed vellum to achieve more color.

With Sympathy

For my sister in law who lost her mother on Friday.  Her mother was the glue to keep the family together.  It was a sudden and unexpected loss.  I wanted to make a card that was a typical subdued color scheme but add  feminine elements and just a touch of calming color.
