Good Monday morning! I hope you had a restful and relaxing weekend. I am sharing another flower card using the Belleek inspired embossing technique. It creates such a lovely background for florals. I also used my color wash technique on the little flowers for this project.
I stamped the butterflies with versa on the lavender cardstock, embossed with gold embossing powder and cut out to pop up on the card front. I punched several flowers out of plain white cardstock, wet then well with a brush and lightly dotted lavender ink into the centers and let it run up the petals. I used a wet brush to help the process along. The trick is to be sure you have plenty of water on the flower so it can easily run.
I heat set the flowers and then formed the petals with needle nose pliers and then pushed down on the flower center on a mat with a stylus to form the center flower. I die cut foliage and attached it to the lattice layer with Glossy Accents. I attached the flowers to the foliage and lattice and then applied tiny white pearls in the flower centers. The butterflies were the final finishing touch to complete the card. I really love how this turned out. I may have like it better with white butterflies. Next time!
I hope you have a great week. Thanks for looking in today. Thanks to those of you who shopped and purchased at my card sale.
