It is my design skills that I struggle with. I know what I like and admire in other card makers designs but struggle to come up with my own designs. It is one reason why I have decided to start entering challenges as I think it will help me to make progress in this area.
Anyway, I did finally settle on a design which I am reasonably happy with, but the execution was more challenging than I thought it would be. Firstly getting the flowers placed exactly right and then heat embossing without getting stray bits of white everywhere.
The flower is a block mounted rubber stamp by Cam & Chloe. Unfortunately I do not know the make of the sentiment and butterfly stamps but they are from different sets.
Here is my card, I will keep practicing as practice makes perfect.
Thank you for visiting me. I hope you like it.

Loving the white on gold and it looks very clean and non splodgy to me. I too struggle with white embossing on dark card no matter how much I use an anti static powder bag. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards.
Well, looking at this I don't think you struggle with design at all. I love the placement of all the images and the stamping and embossing of the flowers looks fabulous, what a great stamp.
Thanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More, Anita x
