Hello friends. When I saw the mood board at As You See It Challenge, I just had to make a card as blues and flowers are my favorites.
ETA: Yea, my card was a Top Pick at As You See It Challenge.
The first thing I did was stamp the 3 flowers from SU Two Tone Flora in Pacific Point ink. I stamped the detail image full strength and then the whole image by stamping off once with the same ink. The leaves are stamped with Soft Succulent ink and then the flowers and leaves were die cut with the matching dies. I used an older die and embossing folder for the frame, first die cutting and then embossing the details. I die cut the bow from a retired SU floral set using blue card from an assortment pack from Hobby Lobby. The lt. blue panel is also from the same pack and embossed with SU Tasteful Textile EF (retired). I stamped the sentiment from a retired SU set and then glued the strip behind the frame. I mounted the frame with foam tape for dimension and then added the flowers, leaves and bow. The center flower is mounted with foam tape. I added a rhinestone to the bow center for a final touch, then mounted the whole panel to a white card base.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day.
So pretty, Joann! I think I still have that frame somewhere, too - how perfect for your design! Love your flowers! Thanks so much for playing at As You See It!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely layers, JoAnn! This is a wonderful card!
ReplyDeleteSo much to love about this card JoAnn! I have that frame in my stash and I never used it much as I always struggled to make it work - I just love how you featured it here, you may well have just given it a new lease of life!! Your larger-than-life florals frame it beautifully and look so good in blue. Thanks for playing along with us over at As You See It Challenge this week!
