Bold Floral Just For You Card |
The background was made with a scoreboard that came free with a copy of Crafts Beautiful magazine. It is quite similar to the Xcut Quilting embossing folder which is a favourite of mine. I used Sizzix Embosslits heart and leaf dies for the flower petals and leaves. The flower centre was created by colouring a thin rectangular strip of card on both sides, then snipping into it at regular intervals along its length and rolling it up and fanning out the cut fringes. I found a sentiment that matched the colour of the flower and also used a similar colour for the card base. A few gold gems helped to add some interest and also complemented the gold foiling on the sentiment.
