Hi Everybody,Todays card is a million miles away from pink but I like it just the same
I made a card in my favorite style with the Hinge at the top and it is a 5x7 which is a lovely sized card to create.
Not small but not too big to be posted and will take a nice flower display too boot.
I layered this with cream card and a designer paper from Anna Griffin.
But the shade of green was a little too bright for me once I had added it and so I diffused it by adding a piece of embossed parchment over the top
I added large pearls to each corner to hide the glue dots holding the parchment in place.
I wrapped the blue ribbon around the layers from top to bottom for a change.
The large oval was cut from the cream and this beautiful die is the Fleur de Elegance from Spellbinders Classic Collection .. and is one of my favorite sets to use.
I used the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and they are a mixture of Roses, Cherry Blossom, Rose buds, Tulips and Sweetheart blossom
The lovely verse is from Clarity Stamp and it has been stamped in green and clear embossed.
I have added in HatPin to complete the look and pushed it through the bow.
More tomorrow...
