The water-coloured strip was from a background I was trying out, the black strip was also from my 'snippet' box and the die cut 'love' was also laying around after 'testing' the die.
After I stamped the flowers, I fussy cut them and laid them out in an arrangement and used the 'Press & Seal' trick for adhering them. Unfortunately, the Press & Seal started to lift the 'face' off my card, so the image was lifting away (darn, that stuff is sticky, be warned) I managed to rescue it and did a repair job, by re-sticking the layer that had come away with wet glue. Then, I adhered them flat - as I felt I had enough dimension going through the mail already, with the dew drops and die cut sentiment.
Here are the rest of the photos.

Yes I am conscious of mailing cards too and the thickness of them. Such a gorgeous card. That flower stamp is so pretty and so glad you've inked it up! x
ReplyDeleteOh no! Horrid press n seal, but a brilliant save - still can't see anything on the card! It's a gorgeous card. I love the colours and the watercolour background is just perfect. Xx

ReplyDeleteI'm slinking in with my head hanging low Hazel as I have missed commenting on your beautiful creations. I'm to far behind to try and comment on them all, but I have looked at them all. Wow, so many techniques and beautiful cards!!! I love them all my friend! And this one is even more beautiful than I could have imagined! I love this stamp set and it is on my wish list to get it as I love peony's. I love your watercolored panel and the black strip and sentiment just makes this whole card pop! Well done my friend.
