I have created this card for the Card Patterns Challenge using Layers of Colours Flowering Gems art stamp set - it is such a pretty set and the flowers always come out beautifully in any style!
This is the sketch - very CAS, which is harder for me, but I am happy with the result!
I embossed the SU Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder swiping the Tim Holtz Distressing Ink Pad Tattered Rose over it, which gives such a gorgeous effect! I have had some requests for a tutorial for this technique and will be doing one in the next week - so watch this space! LOL!
I used a new DieCut that my DH got me - it is called Lace Doily by Scrapping Cottage - don't you just love it! I will be using this often - bring on those sketches with circles! LOL!
Here you can see the added shimmer on the flowers using Kindy Glitz.
This gorgeous bow is made using satin ribbon from a RAK from my dear friend Sabrina, I used by Bow Easy and added the flower gem.
