A Girlie-Girl Card

Hello to everyone!  I have chosen a wine and rose coloured card for todays post.  This card was to have been a demo for the past weeks shows but there were two shows that were cut from the last day due to the lack of remaining product. While I am on the subject,though,  I would like to say a great big thanks for all your support and incredibly kind emails during the shows.  It is lovely (albeit , a bit embarrassing too)  to hear such wonderful things read out from all your emails.  I am hoping that I can give back to you through my blog by posting daily. (that is the goal, at least!)

This card uses the Spellbinders beaded square nestie in the largest size, then a frame cut from the blossoms four set and the small labels four for the sentiment piece all layered up for the focal element.  Easy as pie!  I used an embossing folder for the background and you should be able to see it in the close up pic below.  I added some frilly edged dusty rose ribbon down the side of the card and tied it into a knot rather than a bow this time.  I added three pink organza roses, but I inked them softly with Victorian Velvet Distress ink to match the card.  I also used my heat tool on one of them to shrink it slightly.  Organza melts very easily under heat so you have to use short blasts from your tool or it will shrivel up too fast.  It is an easy way to create dimension with your flowers though.  I completely the card by adding some of the new pearl swirls along the right hand side of the card.  I love the romantic feel they give to a card!  I hope it's not too girlie for you, do let me know!  All for now, Sue x
