This is a 7 inch square. I cut a heart aperture (Spellbinders) in a white piece of card that was then cut with a triple embossed square (Phil Martin) and layered over another piece of card that I stamped with the script stamp. The whole panel is mounted on 3D foam on my base card.
The peony stamp is from a Crafters Companion set and I stamped on to watercolour card and coloured with my watercolour pens, and then fussy cut the image and mounted it on 3D pads.
The butterfly again is Crafters Companion but cut in vellum and colored with the same colours as the flower. It was then liberally sprinkled with glamour dust to make it sparkle and some pearls for its body.
The sentiments are computer generated and after great deliberation were finally placed flat on the card but edged with a black pen for a bit of contrast.
and the inside.....
The bud stamp is from the same stamp set as the main flower, coloured very pale with the same two colours and the verse is computer generated.
Well the sun is shining here at present but boy is it windy...battering the daffodils and tulips that are fighting to declare Spring. Hubby is desperate to get in the garden but it is still so wet from all the rain of late.
Thank you to those of you who left me comments on my last post...so very much appreciated as our time is precious, and Thank you if you are reading this, the same applies, I appreciate the time you give to my humble ramblings.
Stay safe and well everyone and have a good weekend..it's almost here.

A stunning card Carole and I am sure your Mum will love to receive it. It's been very windy here for the last couple of days. I hope it's not so windy on Saturday, as I am doing a Craft Fayre in a beach town and have a bit of a walk with my boxes. Hugs, Carol S.xxx
ReplyDeleteOh Carole your Mum is going to love this card to bits, its so pretty in its design and says everything so perfectly. Your colouring of the flower and butterfly just finish it off beautifully. A tad windy here too (Staffordshire), will this weather ever end... we could all do with some uplifting sunshine x

Very special card have you made. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining at Stamping sensations.
That's a stunning card Carole and I bet your Mum loves it, I know I would. The aperture works really well in creating layers and your flower is just so pretty. I bet it looks lovely when the card is open too. I have to admit that the verse brought a tear to my eye as I'm sitting here looking at a photo of my Mum. Enjoy today in the best way that you can and take good care of yourself. Crafty Hugs, Sandra. PS. Thank you also for entering our challenge at Stamping Sensations xx
