Hi Everybody,
This pretty blue card is created in the Shabby Chic Style and is full of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts I have added white Gesso to the petals to make them appear more shabby and then added the Dries Clear glue and sprinkled it with Glitter.
The card is 5x7 and the base is a 255 gsm White Hammered Card from the Papermill Direct
They are a UK company and as buying card is so heavy you will need to check for yourself if they ship to your part of the world.
The papers are digital ones that I have printed from my PC and I have had them for a long time and use them often. The sentiment is the same and I have added that with foam tape behind to raise it up.
The flourish is from Spellbinders and is the Foliage Flourish it makes a really pretty addition to any of your floral displays
The Honeycomb die is also one that I have had a long time ... and it is one of those that have been sat at the back of a drawer and not used ... so I had to dig it out and make it work again. But I cant remember where it is from
The little polystyrene balls are from AnnaMarie Design and if you have watched Anna Marie on Create and Craft then you will know the wonderful work she creates and you will be pleased to know that she has started her own YouTube channel to show you what she does.
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx

Such a beautiful card!!
ReplyDeleteLovely card Christina. I really love the UK card and do so enjoy visiting all the sites there. I do wish however they would put their prices in US dollars as well as the UKs. Hunkydory has a thing on their site that converts the prices. I think, even with the shipping cost, they would have many more customers from the US. Just a thought. Maybe you could pass a suggesstion on for us here.
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty, pretty.
ReplyDeleteStunning, love the shabby chic effect. Hugs Jennifer xx
