Good morning to all! This is such a girly girl card, it is right up my alley and one of my favourites from the last batch of samples that I made. I used the large scallop edgeability with the half circle insert (I was strangely drawn to that one all the time!) as a fancy edge around the entire card as well as for a border. The background was embossed with our new A4 sized mask called retro. I cut a frame for my sentiment using the Labels 23 as my focal point. As the title says, not my usual colours but I love these together. I used three colours of the vintage ribbon (primrose yellow, peach fizz and toffee beige) to weave through the edgeability border and tie a messy bow. I finished the bow with a wooden button and a bit of peach bakers twine. All three flowers were cut from felt using the spiral flower die. I like the versatility of that die if you want different sized flowers. For smaller flowers, just wrap your flower using less of the spiral. For larger flowers, cut two and add an extra bit from the second spiral. Make sense? It makes a lovely grouping that way, don't you think? I hope you like the card, I would love to get your feedback on it. All for now, Sue x
Loving the flowers trace x
