Hello folks,
MFT are holding their 2018 Card Design Superstar challenge - I've made this card for the Clean and Simple challenge:
So what's your creative process when making a card? One thing I never do before I start is look at cards online made with the same set. That way I find I'm more likely to think outside the box and try and do something a little more unusual. I normally colour these Funky Flowers with Copics but this time I thought I'd just emboss them using copper embossing powder and colour in some random blooms with Perfect Pearls. Clean and simple doesn't necessarily mean white cardstock does it, so I used black to make it look a bit more dramatic. The sentiment's from Essential Sentiments.
It's only after I make the card that I have a sneaky peeky online and see how other people have used the set - and I found this one by Kimberley. Looks like I've cased it doesn't it? So much for being original eh?
Simon Says Stamp are having a 'pop it up' challenge over on their Wednesday challenge blog - since I've used dimensional tape to pop up some of those blooms I'm linking up over there too!
Have a wonderful day!

Elegant, dramatic, gorgeous, Claire ... the shimmer is wonderful with the copper embossing! I also avoid looking at anyone's designs for the same reasons as you ... and still find cards like my own later! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteWOW! This is so elegant -- I love the the way the gold pops on the black. Just beautiful. Thank you so much for joining us at Simon Says Stamp, Pop it Up Challenge!

GOrgeous colour contrast with the copper and black.
