Hi Friends,
As promised here is a Birthday card I made for a friend. She reported that my card not only made it without being crushed, but seeing the flowers on it, she knew it had to have been a time consuming card which I don't mind making. I will show you soon how I send my flower cards so if you have to ship some, you wil have an additional option to send your flower cards.
So here is the card:
All on white textured or non CS
Focal image I used Spellbinder Labels Twenty, with matching stamps from Just Rite Stampers called Fleur de Lis with blue ink. Sentiment old SU Stamp. The lace stamp is also from Just Rite Stampers in the background. Spellbinders edging die cut and an embossing folder (didn't keep the name of it sorry). Ribbon from stash
Flowers: Cheery Lynn Designs daisies (4 on die cut) different sizes. I used a stylus and molding pad to form the daisy petals and used some Liquid pearl for the center of daisies.
I hope you enjoyed this card enough to give it a try of your own rendition of daisies. Sometimes the time consuming cards are the most rewarding because it is challenging you from the moment you start it to the end, when you say this is enough and it looks elegant enough to stop.
The following roses are from my garden...
I hope you enjoyed them!
TIP: If you love flowers and you want to try making a piece of your own, why not start on a scrap piece of white CS putting flowers together in a satisfying way to you, it could be a swag, a wreath, a window sill, a door you will affix this onto later, so make sure you stay between the acceptable size of the card you will make with this beautiful flower arrangement. Once you see it will work, glue on the flowers going from the center working your way to each side keeping things balanced. If not sure, leave work there, walk away and come back later, you will know what's missing and so on. Don't let your old paper punches collect dust, use them, that includes die cuts.
Thank you for looking and you are so very wonderful to leave your complimentary comments before you leave, I do appreciate them all at all times. If you have questions please don't hesitate to ask. Unless I mention it on the recipe, if I don't have a name for something I call it from my stash or didn't keep the name of the item but if you know you can comment and leave the name with you for others to know if they wonder about it. Thank you.
Tips and ideas are always welcome too!
Happy creativity!
