Hello folks,
A quick card to show you using the latest sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and the inspiration pic over at The Card Concept. I'm a sucker for woodgrain so I was inspired to stamp a grey woodgrain background, swiped with a little white pigment ink and some Walnut stain distress ink. I cut it into strips, then cut a label using the WMS Picot Panel die to base my flowers on.
I'm not quite sure why there's a fork in the picture (perhaps those blooms are edible?) but it made me reach for my pewter embossing powder and WMS Simple Sprig - I love the detail this stamp still shows, despite the embossing. The flowers are an MFT die with some resin blooms from my stash which just happened to fit the colour scheme.
Every time I take part in The Card Concept I seem to stick to a clean and layered style...one of these days I will actually stick my card making neck out and have a go at a different one!
Thanks for popping by,

ReplyDeleteVery pretty little card I do like how you did the background. Haha I too wondered about the fork I read somewhere that the flowers are the icing on cupcakes.....didn't get that at first.
ReplyDeleteI love the metallic leaves and the flower enters are perfect. Lovely card!
