The first card is a clean and simple design using Hero Arts stamps. I was inspired when I saw Jacqueline's entry here. So clean, crisp, and classy! For my card, I stamped the sentiment in grey, inked the flower stem with a green marker, and added the Prima flowers and gems where the blossoms would have been. The white card had a pre-embossed border around it ...kind of hard to see here.
Materials Used: Hero Arts (CL140) Thinking of You; Anna Griffin grey pigment ink;
Prima flowers, grey pearls, red metallic gems
The second card I made is a bit busier; I embossed the Hero Arts Dancing with Flowers image in black on grey cardstock and used red metallic gems to highlight the flowers. I cut the image with a Nesties Labels One, mounted to a We-R-Memory Keepers Restoration Urban Window card, rounded the corners, and added two butterflies and pearls for a final touch.
Materials Used: Hero Arts (CG266) Dancing with Flowers; We-R-Memory Keepers Restoration Urban Window card; Crop-a-Dile corner chomper; red metallic gems; Martha Stewart butterfly punch; red and green pearls.
OK, I think I'm done now. (Then again, I thought that after my first card.) I need to clear off my desk for the debut of the first ever CAS-usal Fridays challenge on Friday, May 6th. Have you heard about it? If not, check it out here! They put together an awesome design team and I can't wait to play. C'mon, Friday!
Have a great day,
Judy
