Welcome to another Artisan Design Team Blog Hop. On this hop, we are focusing on the Broadway Bound Suite on pages 68-69 in the 2018-2019 catalog.
I don't know if I would have purchased this set, but now that I have it, I am head over heels in love with it. I have had more fun playing with this suite and even though it isn't my typical style, I am smitten. I made two different cards for this hop. I was inspired by the retro signs of the 50's and I just had to build on that idea.
Everything on this card is from the Broadway Bound Suite except for the new Silver Glimmer Paper (#146960) and the dies I used to cut the stars (Starlight Thinlits #141840). I was so convinced that these stars needed to be included on these cards, that I drove all the way across town to borrow the dies from my best friend, Nancy. It was worth the trip! They are now at the top of my wish list!
I love that the Broadway Lights Framelits Dies (#146317) in this suite work with the Broadway Bound Specialty Designer Series Paper (#146277). I cut the party hat from the DSP with the hat die and it works perfectly.
If you take the time to study retro signs, the arrow is such a popular element. For this next card I freehand cut the large silver arrow behind the sign. I also used one of the stars that I die cut with the Starlight Thinlits to accent the "i" in Wish. It makes a big impact to the finished card. Who would have thought that a Christmas star die would work so well with this set!
I used the Classic Label Punch (#141491) to cut the ends of the sentiment strips. One final detail...the Metallic Pearls (#146282) work wonderfully with this suite. I thought about using rhinestones or white pearls, but the silver metallic pearls really do look better and add an extra touch of realism to the card.
