Hello! I'm popping in with a pretty and romantic looking card that I created for Freshly Made Sketches and JUGs challenges. Let's have a look at what I created.
Lately, Simple Stories has had several paper collections that I have really, really liked and so I have picked up a couple of them. The most recent is the Simple Stories Simple Vintage Spring Garden. I got the 6x8 paper pad and a pack of ephemera because the pieces in it are just so beautitful! I used both to create my card today. Another thing I have been into lately is adding texture to my cards. Like alot of papercrafters I have more than several embossing folders, but I don't often use them. They are perfect for adding texture and so I used the Simon Says Stamp Blossom Field embossing folder to emboss the pink gingham paper I chose from the pad. I added more texture by applying Glossy Accents in certain spots on the flowers, butterfly and bees and then covering the Glossy Accents with Distress Rock Candy glitter. The glitter is very subtle, but pretty.
In this photo you can see the Rock Candy glitter a little bit better. I adhered the background with double sided tape and then added the flowers, butterfly and bees with different heights of foam squares. I finished with a sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Sweet Birthday stamp set.
That's it for me! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous card, Rosemary! I can see why you had to have that paper & ephemera! That's one of my favorite embossing folders, but I almost never emboss printed paper and now I'm going to--love it!

ReplyDeleteEmbossing the gingham was a great idea, Rosemary, and it made a wonderful place to show off those flowers. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
