Hello friends. Time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Ashwini would like us to Use Metallics on our birthday cards.
I used some textured gold foil cardstock for my metallics, cutting the mat, sentiment (Memory Box Birthday Posh Script) and the center of the bloom. The flower is Honey Bee Lovely Layers Anemone die set. I cut the flower layers from lt. blue card and blended Bashful Blue ink in the centers before gluing it together. I also shaped the petals with my fingers to give it a little dimension. The leaves are cut from SU Soft Sea Foam and blended with the same ink. It gives a little shading to them. I also added the cute little flower bud from the same set. The white panel is embossed with SU Tasteful Textile EF.
Be sure to check out all the great inspiration with metallics over at Seize the Birthday. Hope to see you in our gallery.Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
