Springtime in Oregon means rhododendrons. Thought you might enjoy seeing this one with pinky-peachy blooms, which I love.
Now for my card. Can't miss a chance to win the new Flourishes release! The challenge is to be inspired by something around your home
HERE. I chose this lamp that belonged to my grandmother. I believe it's an antique, but I love it because of the sentimental value & I think it's so beautiful. I used Flourishes Thinking of You set. The images are white embossed on light blue cardstock that is die cut with Spellbinders Labels Ten. The mat is a soft beige shimmer cardstock inspired by the brass on the lamp. I added a panel of vellum under the die cuts. I'll probably use this for my thank you card to the gal who has been training me for 3 weeks. That's a long time to not be able to just do your job like usual & she's been very patient with me. Hope you're having a lovely week with some crafting time.
Hi Greta! Your card is so Gorgeous - I love the tiny floral image on the blue cardstock and the pearls. Perfect card inspired by your grandmother's beautiful lamp. And, your rhododendrons are just delightful!
ReplyDeleteGreta, this card is a beautiful interpretation of the antique vase! Love the simple yet elegant design!
