I was so enthralled with the inspiration photo for Time Out Challenges that I had to make two cards. This one uses an embossing folder by Cuttlebug for the background, and a layered Peony stamp set by Birch Press Designs. I didn't even know that I had this stamp set...eek! I added a butterfly, which I cut out of the Butterfly border stamp by Stamplorations, and some rhinestone flourishes by Prima Marketing. Truth be told, those rhinestone flourishes kind of drive me nuts because I can't ever quite figure out how to use them. They get stuck to my fingers and have a mind of their own as I try to adhere them to my design.
Time Out Challenge 136. I was inspired by the embossed look of the background and the flowers in the inspiration photo

well you really captured our photo so well here-such wonderful texture as the background and then this gorgeous bloom...and I am with you on the flourish gems...what a pain they are to use but you did a super job. Thanks for joining us at Time Out x
ReplyDeleteKaren, this card is so pretty and elegant with the embossed background and the pretty butterfly and flower. How clever to cut the butterfly part out of a border stamped piece! I really love the soft hues of all the colors. Fab interp of the inspiration graphic!!
ReplyDeleteI finally found the secret to handling those flourishes. I wrote about it in a blog post awhile back: http://herpeacefulgarden.blogspot.com/2019/03/thank-you-another-aperture-card.html It worked a treat, as our UK friends say! Hope that helps....next time!
