It's quite nice having the freedom to use whatever I'm in the mood for when I want to make a card! Today I chose a 3D embossing folder with matching dies that were right what I needed to lift my spirits on the snowy day I made it. When I looked out the window and saw only dull colors, these flowers were the ticket.
supplies: white cardstock, Simon Says Stamp (retired) Floral Harmony 3D embossing folder with 3 flower dies, sentiment from Clearly Besotted Sweet Little Sentiments
It was a bit fiddly, but I used markers to color in all the smaller flowers first, then after cutting, coloring, and embossing the 3 large ones, glued them into place. I like this sentiment set because of the feminine font and because it's nice and small and doesn't cover up much of the flowers. I fussy-cut around it after stamping to conserve even more space.
How is your winter going? One thing that I'm enjoying is the gradual return of more daylight every day!
I'll add this to the Can You Handle the Pressure challenge for this month.
Hope your day is a good one - thanks so much for stopping by!
Such a beautiful floral background, Lin - love your coloring and all the texture from the 3D embossing!! Gorgeous sunny day here - just a bit chilly at 13F...
