I love wreaths & that may be part of why I was drawn to Kimberly's beautiful card. Really, it's like a big wreath going off the edges of the card.
I couldn't wait to try my own version. First I colored 2 strips of vellum--one with COPIC R35 & the other with G02. Then I die cut 2 of the blooms from SSS Floral Shapes (dies that match SSS Spring Flowers) from the non-colored side of the Coral vellum & 2 of the leaf clusters from the green.
Delicata Silvery Shimmer was used for the stamping. I attached the die cuts on a SSS Fog panel & trimmed off the excess. SSS Painted Thanks was die cut from the fog cardstock & heat embossed several times with silver embossing powder. I clear embossed another die cut to use as the shadow. Wish I'd taken a picture before splattering with Distress Stain Burnished Silver--made a huge difference, at least to my eye.
Added some silver sequins for a finishing touch. I'm entering SSS Flickr Challenge #92 & WAW. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
Edited to add: Also entering SSS National Craft Day.

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card Greta! It does remind me of a wreath. I like the silver you added. It brings and unexpected elegance to your design!
ReplyDeleteI love the delicate look coloring on vellum gives. Your wreath of blooms and leaves is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThe vellum leaves and flowers are so delicate and pretty and do look like a wreath! Your color choice remind me of the cover of the book "Pride and Prejudice" which is the first challenge over at the Library Challenge. Check it out! http://thelibrarycraftchallenge.blogspot.com/2018/02/challenge-one-pride-and-prejudice.html
