To make the background for this card I first embossed Mike's small flower in clear on white paper. Then I tore a sheet of paper and alternatively sponged on Tim Holtz Faded Jeans and the new Cracked Pistachio. Then I stamped the flower in both Pistachio and Jeans over top and spritzed a bit of water on top.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Heidi! Love the combo of the 2 blues and how you sponged the jeans and pistachio using torn paper! (have to get the new pistachio!). Mikes flowers are one of my favorite stamps! I like how the clear embossed flowers come out so white and compliment the background flowers stamped in blue! Thanks for the inspiration! hugs, Laura
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely Heidi, the blue and green go so nicely together and I like the two colours of flowers on the background too.

Very pretty Heidi. Love the background and colors you used.
ReplyDeleteLove this great card- love the pop of white and also tat new ink color- so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour choice of colors is a coo! So perfect for the white embossing and that makes it all jump right off the card. I would never have chosen those TH colors together and now I will. TFS.
ReplyDeleteI love those colors too and the way they blend together! I am curious about the die cut you used behind and beyond the Happy birthday flower.

Thank you! The die cut is "LR0 272 Anja's Vintage Frame Marianne Design" -- I use it quite a bit but only the portion you see. There is a background frame that comes with it also.
DeleteWhat a great background - I can see myself trying that - thank you for the inspiration. x
