Hello friends, welcome and thanks for stopping by! Once again I have been having fun in The Studio with Kaisercraft Collectibles. This time my inspiration has come from a set of cards that were designed by the very talented Alicia McNamara - a Boho set - once I got started I could not stop- it has become addictive LOL! It is another very quick and easy way to create a pretty card.
The card front has been cut/embossed using leftover pieces of patterned paper and one of my favourite dies - the Spellbinders Nestabilities Scored and Pierced Rectangles Etched Dies and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine . The card front has been popped up onto a slightly larger pre-cut Kraft card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares.
You can see Alicia's cards and tutorial HERE - the stripes got me started, especially when it means I can use the front of 6"x6" Pads - they are perfect for this. The patterned strip is 9cm long and adhered to the centre of cards on the right-hand side. using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner.
A flower from my stash has been glued to the left of the striped panel and some die cut leaves from my stash adhered to the top of the flower. The Kaisercraft wooden sentiment has been glued across the striped panels and a Swirl from Want2Scrap trimmed and added each side of the flower, along with white pearls to each corner. It is very easy to create a card in this style - thanks so much Alicia for the inspiration - I may or may not have made over 12 cards based on this style - I won't bombard you with them! Wink:wink

Awww, I wanted to see them all! This is a gorgeous card and you may have outdone your inspiration! Love the way you worked that pearl swirl! And the tip for using the fronts of the 6x6 pads is genius. Except I will never ever use all the paper behind them! LOL xoxo
