Welcome
Summer is well and truly here and it inspired me to make this floral card.
(Unfortunately when I went to photograph this card, the sun was playing hide-and-seek, and I had a lot of difficulty getting a good shot)

The embossing folder was Stylised Flower by Provocraft, and I coloured the embossed images with chalks. And what is summer if there are no butterflies?? I don't like the white ones and the damage they do in the garden, but these sparkling green ones are rather sweet.

The sentiment was gold embossed, and a sun charm, gifted to me by the very generous and talented MariLynn of Mississippi MacGyver was adhered using hot glue to fill the back of it, so it does not get crushed in the mail.

The white edge was cut using a Spellbinders Edge-abilites die.

The white panel was then layered over purple and red card stock.

Have always thought this C/B EF was particularly elegant in the design, and your chalks really brought out the details so beautifully. It does indeed invoke a warm summer day. Loved the sparkle green on the tiny b'flies, and thanks for reminding me about the S/B edgeabilities. I forget to use these (border punches seem easier, and I'm lazy). It made such a lovely lacey edging to your pretty card. TFS & Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful Maxine- I think your coloring on the embossing is just beautiful! And the gold sun is lovely- and the glittery butterfly is wonderful too! Oh I will close my eyes and imagine the sun on my face : )
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty and summery Maxine - love the coloured embossing - it brings it to life. The butterfly looks like it wants to fly off the card - lovely! Thanks for sharing my friend! {{{hugs}}}

ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect summery card. It must have been taxing to get the chalk on the embossed image. Well done. Thanks for joining us at Chalk ah Lot.
