The Future
Finally getting to play again in a Flourishes challenge & this time it's for the entire December release! I was certainly challenged as you had to incorporate these 8 ingredients: 1) anything except an A2 size card, 2) Use something with a floral flair, 3) Add a bit of ribbon or lace, 4) Use the inspiration photo, 5) Add a tag, 6) Add a rounded corner, or use a die with curvy edges, 7) Add an antique flair with distressing or sponging, 8) Use a die cut or punch.
My card size is 4x5, so smaller than A2. I used 2 Flourishes stamp sets: Life Lines for the Eleanor Roosevelt quote & Botanical Bookplates for the sentiment on my little tag. The embossing folder is by Cuttlebug & I added colors from the photo using Brilliance Pearlescent Purple & Pearlescent Lime & Faber-Castell big brush light cobalt turquoise. I sponged Distress Ink pumice stone on all the edges including my center Spellbinders Labels 18 & my little tag made with Spellbinders ovals. 2 corners are rounded with a Fiskars punch. I need a birthday card for a co-worker born on Christmas day & I think this will be perfect for her. So glad you came by--love to hear what you think.

ReplyDeleteThis is beautifully layered Greta! I love the softness to the design! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Flourishes!
ReplyDeleteI love the sentiment that was used as focus! Beautiful layering and use of diecut, Greta! I also love the BG dry embossing/coloring!
ReplyDeleteHello Greta.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, I was reading the requirements for the Challenge, and I became confused after Antique Flair so I gave up, so obviously not a Challenge for me!
You on the other hand have made a super job of completing all the elements, the card and the quote look wonderful.
Smiles:)
