Thanks so much for my lovely comments last week. It was fabulous to hear from you!
This week I have a birthday card that I made for a young lady who turned 80!!
I coloured the digi image using my prisma pencils and then lightly glittered the middle of the flowers (You can't see it very well on this photo!).
I then inked the edges of the paper and the image with Tim Holtz distressing ink.
I cut the 80 using my cuttlebug and then triple embossed the numbers with gold embossing powder.
The green ribbon edges are actually tucked under the card so there were no free edges sticking out. Just liked the look of it and thought I'd try it for a change.
The cream rose looked lost when I first put it on so it got some burgundy ink treatment to its edges to make it stand out. Lastly some gold corners just added that finishing touch!
Card Recipe
Image is a digi called 'Sweet Pea Flowers' from Priscilla Styles
Flowers and Lace from Wild Orchid Crafts
Ribbon from MeiFlower
Paper from Papermania (I've had it that long I can't remember the collection! sorry!)
Lastly I decorated the inside to complement the front. I coloured a second image as above, then cut the individual flowers out and made a smaller posy for the inside!
I'm going to enter this card into the following challenges:
Raise The Bar - Ring in the new year
2 Sisters Challenge - Embossing
The Pixie Cottage- Embossing
Make it Monday - Anything goes
Thanks for looking! Hope that you all have a great weekend! Its a bit of a windy one here today!!
