Gosh, how the week has flown. My apologies for not updating the blog until today. This is a Carousel note (found on page 76 of the current Idea Book and Catalogue) which I dry embossed round the scallop edges with a cropadile. It’s not very clear in the picture. I then pricked holes all round the scallop, stamped the flowers from Live Your Dream set in Ruby Red and the stem and leaves in Old Olive, stamped “Thanks” in versamark and white embossed with a heat tool.
I stamped the butterflies in Pretty in Pink and used the thumping technique to add contrast to the butterflies, added a taffeta bow on the top secured with a rhinestone brad and matted the scallop circle onto a square of Chocolate Chip cardstock. It looked a bit lack lustre, so out came the Tombow and Dazzling Diamonds which added that little bit of bling to finish it off.
Thanks for looking.
Gorgeous card Elaine. Quite interested in the 'thumping' technique – not heard of that one before…. Hope all ok with you.
