Hello
I was looking through my cards that I haven't yet shared on my blog, and came across this one. I thought it would be perfect for this months Flower Challenge. They are celebrating their 100th challenge and are asking us to add circles. I realise I only have one circle, so I hope that is OK.
My embossing folder is called Sandie's Garden by Honey Bee Stamps. I started with a 7x5 inch piece of watercolour paper which I inked with different colours. Then I inked the embossing folder before embossing the card.
The circle and flower stamps are from the Altenew set called floral halos. I used matching dies to cut them out. The circle is backed with vellum and I am afraid I don't know the make of the thank you die.
The Flower Challenge #100 - add circles. Congratulations on your 100th challenge
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.
Wow Hilary your embossing is absolutely stunning .. I must admit I’m scratching my head as to how you achieved that! Gorgeous card xx

This looks amazing, Hilary, and I'm quite sure they won't mind that there's only one circle. The embossed piece is dramatically stunning with the colors on the dark background. I love how a little of the dark ends up adding the depth within the flower images, too. Utterly gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!! I do love the dark background for those fabulous florals - embossed colored flowers do have a way of standing out spectacularly! And your vellum backed sentiment looks perfect. Great card, Hilary!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea to add vellum on this marvelous background! Thanks for the inspiration. It's so lovely with all the flowers!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful and your right about the black background, makes for such a striking card.
