Hello there! Now, talk about neglecting a blog... I went on a family road trip to the North of Spain, and then I came back and had about 100 tons of laundry to catch up with. But that's fixed now and I'm back with a card. The colors look bolder in the photo, but they're much lighter in real life. This was my submission for a Cards blog challenge about using patterned paper with flowers. I had this pretty paper in my stash and wanted to use it. It's actually one of the first ones I purchased! Not sure about the company, it may be DCVW or K&Co.
The focal pannel was cut with a Nestabilities die (blooms, I think). I stamped a background first and then the sentiment in darker ink. Some crochet thread tied around and finished with a button accents it.
And do you see that glittery line there? I first learned about that technique on Nichole Heady's blog and I've also seen it at Dawn McVey's. The result is so beautiful! Just adhere some scor tape and cover it with glitter. Subtle, pretty and not too messy.
Have a great weekend and thanks for visiting! Please, don't forget to leave me a comment, I just love them!
