Hello my lovely visitors, so glad you dropped by. Hope you are having a fabulous day. It's really windy here in Adelaide at the moment. I hate windy days, so have decided to stay inside and do some crafty stuff. (Not that I need an excuse! LOL!!)
I'm back to share another card with you. This was a fairly quick make. I actually started out with something totally different in mind but, somehow, ended up with this.
The papers are from the English Rose Garden Mini Pack from Megs Garden. I simply trimmed the base paper to size and then tore a couple of strips for the layers.
The flower was white with blue edging around the petals. To match it in with the papers, I just used some watered down acrylic paint to change it to orange. Wasn't sure at first about the blue edges .. thought I might have to cover them as well .. but decided I quite like how it looks.
Added gauze, twine and some leaf die-cuts to the cluster.
The chippie is a small piece of the Mini Chicken Wire panel from 2Crafty Chipboard. All I did was heat emboss it.
Tucked a bit of pretty lace (from Megs Garden, of course) in between the paper layers ...
... sprinkled some seed beads in different areas, and my card was done!! I didn't even add any gesso!! Must be feeling sick. LOL!!
That's all from me for now. Thank you so much for visiting and, perhaps, leaving me some lovin'. I would love to know what you think.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Take care and God Bless.
I love this! I LOVE the colour combination and am glad you left the flower as is, because it's beautiful. x
