Flowers and Bling

Welcome I am so glad you have visited by blog.
Today I took refuge from the heat in studio and had fun playing with a new spellbinders die - Spiral Flowers Three, the leaves dies and a doily die.  My Cuttlebug had a real workout!!


The result is a very dimensional card, which I am pleased with. The flowers were sponged with violet ink to accentuate the colour. 


This is a close up, and in the bloom on the left, you can just see the purple rhinestone that I managed to place in the centre of each bloom.

The doily was cut in white card, and the swirl placed before the leaves and flowers were added - the swirl fought me somewhat and did not quite place as well as I may have liked.


The sentiment was simply stamped in a pearlescent ink to let the flowers take centre stage.

I am linking this to:

Thank you for visiting - May your day be blessed

  2. This is a beautiful card Maxine. I love those spiral flowers. Unfortunately I have to steer clear of very dimensional cards for sending to UK and that's where most of my cards end up! I love the colours you have chosen too. Kate x
