Wow it's been awhile since I have created, as I have been preparing my family home for sale, it's an emotional time as our first open inspection was held this afternoon.
You may be starting here so welcome to this weeks blog hop or you could have come from Rebecca Scurr.
Well back to my card, I had a card class last week and the centre to my card this week was my practice for the finished card we made since it turned out well I thought I would turn it into a card for this week's CASEing the Catty.
I put a strip of Whisper White cardstock through the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine with the the Petal Pair Embossing Folder and then used the sponge daubers in Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie to colour in the raised flowers and then with the leftover leaves I used Pear Pizzazz.
I then ripped the edges of the centrepiece and then used some black lace on the edges to make it pop off the background and oh I love that oh so cut, Petal Passion Embellishment to finish it off. I decided that I wanted to feature the flowers so I did not include a sentiment on my card so I can use it for any occasion.
Stamp Set: Petal Palette
Cardstock: Pool Party, Whisper White
Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Memento, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie
