Hi, Friends......
I am back and feeling some better. I am only starting to get back into my crafting energy mode, but I did manage to make this card for the current Waffle Flower Challenge. I love the inspiration photo and colors!!!
For my card, I used a lovely verse from the Verve - Scripture Medley 2 that I won recently. (THANKS, Verve!!) I stamped it with Memento - London Fog and heat embossed with clear powder onto a pretty piece I fussy cut from my DCWV Solstice stack.
My background is layered and dry embossed with my Darice - Interlocking Circles folder. I inked it gently with Distress Ink - Victorian Velvet to bring in the orchid pink of the palette.
I added Zva swirls and a butterfly sequin for sparkle. Then I layered on some Prima flowers.
I used the same Distress Ink to gently tint the white flowers. Some silver photo corners give the finishing touches.
Hope you enjoyed my spring-y card. I really love making these flowery kinds of cards. :)

Wow! This is gorgeous! You hit the jackpot with that layered and embossed background technique...you are the queen of both heat and dry embossing!
ReplyDeleteThat Darice embossing folder is really great for just about any background and I love the lightly tinted flowers. I had a friend who only bought white flowers, and then inked them to customize. The sequin swirls and the butterfly add that oh so important sparkle and shine!
Beautiful card! Love the wonderful design and pretty colors!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for joining us this week at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!
