Hello my lovely friends! I hope you all had a good weekend. I don't know why, but for some reason I kept thinking it was a bank holiday? Maybe it was because it was Mother's Day? AND, guess who forgot to alter her clocks? Anywho, I'd better get on, as I only have six hours left to get this posted and entered for a second bite at the Freshly Made Sketches #280 challenge
First, I took a plain, white panel and embossed it with my favourite embossing plate 'Linen' and mounted it directly to the front of a white card base.
Next, I adhered a piece of a die-cut grid that I had left over from a previous project. Then I arranged some roses and leaves that I had stamped using a three-step stamping set from Papertrey Ink, adhered the roses with foam tape and then the leaves and a vellum sprig were adhered flat to the card.
Finally, I stamped a small sentiment from Stampin' Up (I love this set, it's so useful), adhered it to a matching strip of gold foil card-stock and adhered that flat to the card too.
I finished the whole thing off by punching out some gold foil circles, adhering them strategically and did some foiling highlights to the roses.
Thank you so much for your visit today and especially if you have left a comment. You are all appreciated more than you know!
If you have a question, please be sure I have a way to contact you so I can answer, as a lot of you are 'no-reply' bloggers, so I am unable to reply via e-mail.

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Hazel and the gold grid and the highlights of gold on the roses and complementary sentiment and embellishments finish this beautifully. x
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Hazel. At least you didn't have to worry about being late for work with forgetting about the clocks going forward. See you Wednesday dear friend x
ReplyDeleteAnother superb gorgeous card Hazel.
ReplyDeleteThank god I didn't forget to alter my clock because I was expected in Holland at 9am to give 3 workshops for 10 people each. But I do have troubles with this hour less sleep. Hope you manage that well.
Hugs Veerle xxxx
