Welcome - Thank you for visiting me again
I have had a wonderful day in my studio - mainly working on a large project, but I also made this card whilst 'waiting for things to dry'.

I was cruising the internet this morning when I saw this card by Michelle Woerner, and immediately thought 'I have the die used for this cut' and that was my starting point.
I cut the vertical pattern almost the same as Michelle's card,(I offset the die on the third cut a wee bit differently) then changed the sentiment and simply stamped and embossed it onto the white card.
The flower is one I had crocheted a while ago and popped into my stash, I attached it with a glue dot, and added a half pearl in the centre.
I decided to mount the white over a cream card, but before I did so I sponged the edges of both colours of card with a soft orange ink and also rounded all the corners.
I lined the inside with copy paper after stamping a poinsettia in orange in opposing corners, and sponging the edges, again.
So this is my CASE of Michelle's project - somewhat more simple, and with different colours, but I am very happy with it.

ReplyDeleteVery cute flower! I like how you've done the cut outs above it like that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great CASE!!! Love the colors on the crocheted flowers, they really pop! Stamping the poinsettias in orange on the inside is brilliant! It really dresses it up.
ReplyDeleteA fun stroll through your art work with my early morning coffee, Maxine! Thank you for sharing.
Maxine, I just ran across your website! Lovely cards. I especially like your orange and yellow crocheted flower. Is there a website that shows the instructions? I've made crocheted flowers, but not with the pointed petals! Beautiful!
