Welcome
I love how this card turned out.
I was playing with Brushos, sprinkling them onto an embossing folder, spritzing with water then 'printing' them onto watercolour paper - this background was the second 'pull'.
I printed off the chicory image from A Day For Daisies - a freebie image from their blog
After colouring the image with Polychromo pencils, I layered Glossy Accents over the glass jar
Unfortunately it warped, and cracked when I went to glue it onto the background, so I rubbed blue ink over it, and loved the look once it had worked into the cracks!
I embossed the sentiment with platinum ep onto purple card, and mounted it over a snippet of gold card. All the edges of the layers and the base were sponged with Delicata Gold ink
I used another snippet for the inside sentiment - the negative of a die cut
My latest photo prop... serves him right for trying to photo bomb my session... his colour really shows off the card too 😉

WOW Maxine. This turned out awesome. Must try this technique.
A technique I WAS doing today but neighbour requested urgent birthday card so guess it's tomorrow I play...love the outcome and fabulous model showing the card, cute.xx
Well if that isn't the most amazing background, I don't know what is, Maxine. Gorgeous card!
Such a unique and artsy background and what a fun technique. The glass bottle looks great and love the addition of eh blue...great save. Thank you for joining in The CAS Mix Up Challenge with your fabulous card X
This is beautiful, Maxine. Enjoyed reading your 'happy' accident with the bottle, as it turned out to look so very realistic. Very dimensional against the awesome brusho monoprint too. I really like this effect on your pretty card. TFS & Blessings.
Your stencil monoprint turned out beautifully Maxine!! Love the colours. So pretty with your glass jar with blooms. The cracks add age to the vase! :) Love your photo backdrop! :) Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx
Your EB folder monoprint is beautiful with all the colors for your clever vase and die cut flowers. Creative background for your photo too. TFS and joining us at CAS Mix Up. Hugs..
Wow the jar looks so real!! And beautiful brusho-background! Love the colours! Hugs, Gerrina
I am absolutely in love with this card - this background and the delicate flowers in the bottle --- AMAZING! And to top it all the lovely photo with the handsome cat!

Wow.. this is indeed very pretty.The colours and the gold also the bottle looks so real. I loved that picture with your cat as your prop for the picture. And she is a good cat, stayed still!
That background is beautiful. You are always giving me new ideas to try. I like the way you made the 'cracked glass'into a feature. Kate x

I love the soft pastel colors of this monoprint background, Maxine! The chicory is a so pretty and the crackled vase was a happy accident! Your kitty shows this card off beautifully! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Mix Up!
Beautiful! Love the technique. Thank you for sharing with us at The PIP Challenge
Great technique, Maxine. Your card turned out beautiful! Kisses, my friend.
Who is that who is photo bombing your picture? He is a handsome fella and I hope he is good company for you.
Love this card and thanks for the new to me technique (Brushos inside the folder). Love that bottle. In fact that really caught my eye and I thought that was another new technique - love the look of it.
Blessings, Neet xx
A gorgeous card, Maxine. Lovely background technique. Your cat is lovely too!
Oh Maxine, this is stunning! You inspired me to use my Brushos again after a few failures in the past. So very pretty! And I adore your cat - he makes a great card prop too! :)

I meant to say - what a great idea using the gold negative for inside the card! x
Super-duper job with the monoprint card, Maxine! I love how it turned out, too! The colors and that sweet bottle vase and wildflowers are divine! I just love the glossification you achieved and what a sweet puss you have to sit there patiently while you took the photo!! Hugs, Darnell
what a great background you created Maxine! - love the soft mix of colors and the pretty design! So pretty with the bottle and one stem! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
Gorgeous card Maxine! I love the mono print you got in all those luscious colors. The image is just beautiful too, I hate when the embossing cracks, I guess you could have heated it back up again to melt the cracks....but I am loving how you put the ink over it and showed off the cracking! I really loving your photo prop! lol He is beautiful and yes his coat is really showing off the card. Hugs, Brenda
A stunning creation Maxine, the background looks AMAZING and so does the cracked jar. I was wondering how you achieved that look, funny that it was done on accident, and how gorgeous and unique it turned out! Love this!!
And love to see your kitty in the photo as well :-)
Such a lovely card, Maxine! The background is so pretty! Thanks for joining us at Colouring in Scrapland. Good luck!! Esther (DT)
Chicory is very common here. The background print is perfect for this card. The bottle is impressive. Looks real. The gold lettering is great and stands out on the purple. The gold die cut snippet sentiment is perfect. Excellent!
Love, Hugs and Blessings

I love how your background technique turned out. I have to experiment to see if I can get it to look as good as your's did. And I cannot believe that your cat stayed still for that photo. And the cat is so pretty too.
Hugs, Fran
