Good Sunday morning. I have a clean and simple yet elegant project to share with you today. I love the Belleek Inspired technique. and the effect of brayering ink on the inside of an embossing folder. It creates such a soft background when used with light colored ink.
I applied ink on the front inside of the Starry Night embossing folder, inserted my paper and put it through the Big Shot with the front side face down. I punched the eyelet border using the Martha Stewart PATP Eyelet set, crimped with my straight Crimper and attached to the card base with mounting tape.
I cut the mini rose using the MFT Mini Rolled Roses set, rolled it around my tweezers and attached it closed with glossy accents. I lightly applied a light pink PanPastel to the petals. I cut leaves using the leaf cluster and formed them with my stylus and molding pad. I attached three large leaves to form a circle with glossy accents. I attached the rose right in the center with glossy accents and tucked branches and additional leaves around to create the small floral spray.
I thought the Memory Box Pippi Butterfly would be perfect to add one more elegant element to this soft and feminine card.
You can see step by step pictures of the Belleek Inspired technique here.
Thanks for coming by and I hope you have a great Sunday.
Card Size: 5.5” x 4.25” Paper: Papertrey Vanilla Ink: Retired SU Pink

Elegantly beautiful!!!! This has WoW factor! Now, I am very sorry I didn't buy that embossing folder set, the folder you have used produces gorgeous results. All the beautiful details in this card embellish the beautiful background. Thank you for sharing this beautiful card. I actually have the punches, the krimper and the butterfly, so that is a good start for me. Thank you for sharing this beautiful, inspiring card and the tutorial.

Gasp, scream and take a breath...then my heart skipped a beat! I can't think of the adjective I want to use to express just how beautiful and appealing this is to me. My sister has always called me Toni which is short for Marie Antoinette, maybe she is on to something. TFS the beauty.

Oh my goodness .....lovely! I just tried to make the card and love it! I wonder if you have any tips on how to crimp....I had trouble feeding the paper through to make a nice even crimp....maybe practice? Thank you so much!
