Welcome
I would like to extend a very warm welcome to Corry - do pop over to her blog and have a look at her wonderful work.
I had meant to post before now, but this borrowed computer and I have been having BIG arguments about downloading photos from my camera, and then trying to transfer them to my flash drive...
but I've won, this round at least!!
I made this for a dear family member who loves her garden, so my starting point was this fabulous floral image that I had stamped off when visiting a friend, and coloured with Polychomo pencils, some time ago.
I trimmed the image by hand, and then mounted it over the S/B majestic Squares die cut.
Although the photo does justice to the sparkle card, the colour of the pencils has been drained , as the orange flowers and the copper card are a good match.
I added a sentiment embossed in copper on to some blue card, the same colour as the base cardstock, and layered it onto some lace that the recipient had given me years ago, and then onto the yellow checked paper.
I finished the inside with a strip of sparkly copper (Scotch) tape :)

what a sparkly background. Lovely floral image.
ReplyDeleteThe yellow background really contrasts beautifully against the sparkly panel Maxine and well done on getting such a good photo, sparkle is always difficult to catch on camera.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining us at Allsorts 'Say it with Flowers' theme this week.

So pleased that you won the battle with technology and managed to download your photos so that we share in your lovely work. Love the sparkle! xx
ReplyDeleteSo glad you didn't let the C win Maxine! Isn't it difficult to photograph sparkly or shiny things? You did a great job here though. CarolG
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing worse than having an argument with your computer. They maintain that sulky silence but still stick to their guns and do what they want. So annoying!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea to use a strip of lace on the card that the recipient once gave to you, shows that you value what they share and gives them some ideas on how to use it. I am sure she will be delighted with this lovely sparkly card.
Blessings, Neet xx
I am saving up my pennies right now to get myself a new computer before this old one crashes !
ReplyDeleteYour card is so lovely I'm sure your family member will love it!
Hugs,
Chriss
