Last Minute
I have 2 Concord & 9th stamp sets & a huge wishlist! Luckily I also have super sweet blogging friends who are always willing to send me die cuts & that's how I got these beautiful C&9 blooms.
The embossing challenge at Where Creativity Meets C9 is closing shortly, so right before dinner I finally sat down & made a note card. Years ago before I started making cards, my favorite stationary to buy was dry embossed. Fun to use an old Cuttlebug folder on a piece of textured white cardstock for the background. The blooms were cut from Bristol, so I colored them with 2 beautiful pink Zigs.
To add some shimmer, I brushed on the white paint in the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors set. Pink & gray is one of my favorite color combos, so I attached the blooms to a small gray square. Another piece of the gray was used to cover the card front. The big pearl makes it not very mail friendly, but can't make all flat cards--haha! I'm also entering CAS-ual Fridays, HLS Anything Goes with Dies & SSS Wednesday. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.

Oh, how pretty!! I like the bit of shimmer on the fun flower and the fancy embossed background. That little bit of gray peeking out around the edges is perfect and really makes your design pop!
ReplyDeleteYes, me too, I loved dry embossed stationary. I originally bought my Cuttlebug mainly for dry embossing with embossing folders. Wasn't interested in the dies that existed back then... Ha, things have changed! Your card is gorgeous and that die is also on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blooms and gorgeous card, Greta.

I, too, am a fan of Concord and 9th and pink and gray combo's. You captured both of them with this lovely card. The shine is just gorgeous. Many times you can't see it on cards but this paint really shows up well. Just visited a place in Broadripple called Cake Bake and it is decorated in pinks of every kind. Even the salt was pink! We should go!
