Hello again, long time no see!
My craft time has been scarce, a family matters have kept me pretty busy and it isn't over yet! However, I was able to sneak away and make a card, ala Heather of House Built of Cards. I needed a card for friend, who underwent unexpected surgery, and hopefully this will help during her time of recovery ~
I used a bit different colors, and while I like it, I do prefer Heather's colors a bit more. While the flowers were a soft pink, she used a light lavender (gray undertones) to provide the shading without changing the flower colors. While my colors provided shading, you really can see the lavender. Another change up was that I added some flowers flat to the base, others with a thin foam, and the middle bunch with a thicker foam. My golden leaves were tucked here and there. Here's a close-up to show a bit more of the gold shimmer and shine ~
Boy! I'm not sure I enjoy this view...
while you can see more shine, my flowers look totally smudgy!!!
My card base appears pink but it is actually PTI Lavendar Moon so it has a pinkish lavender to it, which totally works! Since these are new products, I'll enter this over at NBUS #63NBUS #63.
Supplies:
PFS - Sakura stamp, die & stencils; Leafy Branch die; Stitched Rectangle die
Thank you for the visit and have a beautiful Sunday!
Hugs,
TK
