I definitely shouldn't have had that much coffee this afternoon... But since I did! I decided to roll with the inspiration and create another floral birthday card, using the same Stampendous flower embossed in white.
This is how my panel started, similar to the other two, but I couldn't make the elements work, so I ended up cutting it square and using the off strip to make the tag/sentiment.
I used a different damask set from the Tim Holtz set this time and a different Prima texture stamp too. Notice how parts of the damask fade away, that is what I love!
I guess there isn't much contrast in this card, but IRL it is much prettier. I tried to balance things with the Martha Stewart lace punch.
I really loved sections of the piece that I made the tag with. Here you can see the dimension. Thanks for bearing with me through all of these tonight! It sure feels good to sit and play! :)
Here's a shot of all the pretties lined up! I love seeing all of this color! <3
I'd like to share with:

ReplyDeleteOk, this trio... I'm just going to hang up my supplies and go back to the woods. I'm not worthy ;)
I love all of your cards, Autumn! The white embossing and lace really stands out on the orange/yellow card - just the right amount. I do love the gold accent on the magenta card - it really pops! Your blues and greens are wonderful and love your flowers!! Great news about no surgery for your little guy :-)

Autumn...you rock! These cards you've created are beautiful! The embossing and Martha Stewart lace punch really does stand out on the orange and yellow card. I really love how all of the flowers just seem to jump off of the similar colored background. Very cool illusion.
ReplyDeleteSpring colors have exploded in your wonderful card designs. Wowzers! All of em are gorgeous and happy. Awesome sauce use of the stamps, makes me want to play with flowers. Say what!?! Yeppers, and I am not a flower person. Hehe! Fantabulous! Hugs to you muffin! ~Niki
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous spread of colours! Your cards are enchanting!
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful, Autumn. Thanks for playing along at The Mixed Media Card Challenge. Good to see you there.
ReplyDeleteThe warm hues look splendid combined with the white, and such a pretty look. Also like your tag idea and tucking underneath the lacey white border too. It gave quite a bunch of contrast IMHO. The lush yellow of the ribbon added even more dimensional interest and this is just beautiful. I might try some afternoon coffee, if I could expect to create something like this!!! TS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! The watercoloring and embossing is gorgeous! Fabulous details!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
