CCC Reveal
Here's the card I sent to Jeanne for the March card exchange. The panel had been sitting on my desk for a long time. It was the 2nd one I made after watching Lydia's video using foil, gesso, an embossing folder and alcohol inks.
I let the colors bleed together too much, so it's looks like all I used was purple. That worked great for the choice of black, white and one other color. I used SSS Cherry Blossom 3D folder which includes 3 flower dies. I used vellum for the flower diecuts and for the shadow layer of Memory Box Friend Daily Script. The letters were die cut from MB glossy black cardstock. Love my newest PTI frame die called Reflections: November. The stark white was distracting, so I lightly brushed it with Altenew Wisteria ink. Tiny black dots for the vellum flowers finished it off. I'm also entering DCD and WAW.

What a fabulous background Greta. It's a gorgeous card.
ReplyDeleteIf you get really close to a hydrangea blossom, you can see every single little bloom. That's exactly what your card looks like.
