Hello and welcome
Today it’s time for the next challenge over at Watercooler Wednesday! This week Karen is our host for our “All About Occasions” Challenge.
I started by stamping an old favourite – Papertrey Ink Year of Flowers Poinsettias, colouring and fussy cutting the flower.
After die cutting a scalloped circle in green, it was stamped using Versa Mark ink and an old wood block holly stamp.
To make a circle card, a second white scalloped circle was cut for the card back. This was attached to the green circle with tape along a folded section at the top of the back.
A piece of tartan ribbon was attached to the side of a white circle, before attaching it to the green circle. Verve Stamps – Glad Tidings sentiment was stamped on the front and the flower was attached with raised tape.
A sentiment from a Kaisercraft Christmas set was silver heat embossed, fussy cut and tied to the tartan ribbon.
To finish, some Nuvo drops were added to the flower centre.
Although it is not a traditionally shaped card, the colours and elements are definitely a more traditional style.
Don’t forget to head over to our blog to check out the wonderful inspiration from the rest of our Design Team.
I look forward to seeing what you create this week!
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit. I love to read your comments.
Have a great day
Cheers
