Blue Roses

 Hi Everybody,

This is another card that was made a while ago and using Altnew Roses for the design. 

I have water coloured them and used the Simply Dots background embossing folder from Card Making Magic

I very lightly dusted over the embossed panel with grey ink to make the dots stand out a little more, and then roughly torn it along the edges for a shabby chic look.

I have added this panel with foam to the white base card and that adds more interest to the overall design as it creates shadows on the card front.

The flowers have been raised on foam pads for dimension and the black pearls compliment the sentiment which is also from Altenew.

The completed card is 5x7 which is by far my favourite size to make, and the fold is at the top.

On these flowers I added a little bit of liquid glue and allowed it to go tacky. Then I pressed some gold foil into the glue and lifted it carefully.

This left just a light layer of gold leaf on some of the petals and made the flowers look really pretty. And I think it can just be made out if you look hard enough

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
