Blue and White Flowers

Here I am again, and thank you for visiting again. 
 Yes, I have had a very productive time recently and I have loved it.
This card is one that I am really pleased with.
I started with a piece of paper from the Kaisercraft pad Le Château using the  'friendship' page, triming it to fit. 

I then used stamps from Layers of Color Nature Walk set for the rest of the card.  The flourish was only partly inked, with a combination of two inks to get the green that I wanted.
I then machine stitched the dp to the base.

Next the the flowers were stamped on white card with blue ink, and clear embossed, white glue added to the centres and gold micro-beads adhered.
The flowers were adhered to the card with a foam spot for a wee bit of dimension.
The whole card took less than and hour from sitting down to completion - love it when that happens!!


Thank you for visiting - may your day be richly blessed.

    So pretty, Maxine! I love the quote and the soft colors. The micro bead flower center are a great idea! I think those beads aren't used enough, they are a marvelous invention. I used them on a purse once (adhered with their double-sided red tape), and they are still stuck on strong. They make the coolest effect. Love your card!

    I LOVE the micro beads in the flower center. I'm thinking those would look great in the center of a sun flower. Beautiful sentiment and the card is so pretty!
