Welcome
This card has used embossing, debossing, letter press and die cutting techniques!

I started with the debossed, letter-pressed panel as my background, as a class project.
The ink was Memento orange, and the folder an old, floral Brutus Monroe one.

The next layer was embossed using an old SU folder

over which I layered a die cut, Prim Poppies by Memory Box, a very old die, but still a firm favourite.
I added some pencil shading to the base of the blooms for dimension

The sentiment was a magazine freebie, and the panel popped up on foam dots.

The inside was finished with a strip of dotted washi tape. I used two layers as it was fairly pale with just the one.
All edges, both inside and out, were edged with the orange ink. The card base was a cream toned piece of recycled card.

That background is so effective Maxine and that Poppy die always makes for a great card.

First of all, thanks for being such a great friend! Such seeing your name come up is an encouragement. This card is so fantastic with the techniques you have used. I love the monochrome look, it allows for lots of visual interest and still remain clean. Very pretty! Smiles, Kathy
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. A great combination of different techniques.
ReplyDeleteWow what an amazing card Maxine. You always inspire me with the different things you use to create your cards. This card is over the top wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe whole card coordinates so well. I love the way you have used the embossing folder with the floral finish, very nice indeed. The plainer embossing beneath the poppies is perfect, texture but not 'in your face'.
ReplyDeleteI think I may have those poppies in my die collection, absolutely beautiful card when put together like this.
`Love it.

Isn't it great when you rediscover older techniques? I must remember to do that more often. This is a great example of effective use of 'stuff'. CarolG
ReplyDeleteWow, this gorgeous card has a lot of techniques on it and boy do I love it! Love the letter press look, that is a wonderful embossing folder. The embossing is perfect for your beautiful blooms to sit on and I love the extra shading your did on them. A gorgeous card inside and out! Hugs, Brenda
