Siiggghhh ... maybe this should've have been a Be Thankful card, I'm so over the flood clean up but it continues with mould now growing and this morning I'm seeing that I'll have to have a clean up in here before anything else happens... and shake myself and be oh so thankful that our problems are minuscule compared to whole flooded homes and businesses that have lost everything...
First I die cut my flowers from scrap leftover from my heart card earlier this week, then some white leaves. Decided to go with a red background panel and stamped and embossed my sentiment in silver. I used the moulding tool to give the flowers and leaves some dimension and added the die cut flower centers and arranged them on the card.
Also joining in at CAS Watercolour February challenge - Red and Pink, Watercooler Wednesday WWC208 - Charlottes "All about occasions" challenge, and Stamplorations Cutplorations February challenge - flowers are my inspiration.
Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it, happy stamping
Simply beautiful Robyn.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Robyn. LOVE the flowers cut from your leftover smooshing. So pretty in pink, especially against the dark red background. Great design with lots of dimension from your shaping of the blossoms. The silver heat embossed sentiment is icing on the cake!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard not to be discouraged after so many days of clean-up, Robyn. You'll get there. Sorry to hear there are now mould problems. Hopefully you'll find a good solution to get rid of it. Would bleach work?? Trouble with bleach is that it would be hard on the surfaces too. Making some cards is a good escape. Take care and hope it's finished for you soon. xx
This is such a pretty card Robyn, and a great use of your leftover pink pieces. We are definitely a country of extremes at the moment aren't we!! Hope you get rid of your problems due to the floods and I'll keep praying for these rotten fires to stop! Take care, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry to hear about the awful floods and now the mould problems x. Hang on in there ...I am sending hugs x
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful card and the red card stock make those pretty dimensional blooms stand out even more. The silver heat embossing looks fabulous too x
OMG I'm so sorry to hear this disaster in your part of the world. Cleaning after water damage can be so discouraging, but you'll get there. The crazy weather all over the world is hard to believe and difficult to deal with. Hope you keep the energy to stay positive in this ordeal.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great dimensional card. Flower blooms and so convincing and they have grown out of this LOVEly card. A beautiful CAS card with a sincere message xxx
Your watercolor worked perfectly for these sweet shaped flowers and I love how the flowers and white die cut leaves pop on the red background! The silver embossed sentiment adds elegance! Clean up is not fun, especially when the mold starts. It's so hard to get rid of. Chin up, my friend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card! Love that you were able incorporate watercolor cardstock from a previous project. Lots of dimension and interest. Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Robyn I love the red background with your pretty watercoloured flowers. Floods, know all about it, we lived in Moora Western Australia in 1999 when it was flooded three times and the mould is really hard to get rid of, we had it regrow three times in some cupboards and in the end we had to replace them and we found they started to disentegrate after a while. Hard to get up every day to face the devastation a flood can do, Sending positive thoughts, just take one day at a time! Hugs Sue xx
ReplyDeleteA very dramatic colour scheme - love the richness of those colours! The flowers are a great complement to the red. Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday.

These soft pink flowers on that stunning red background card stock is beautiful. I'm sorry you had such a flood there and it is messy to clean up. Mold can be harmful so I hope you are able to get it cleaned out well.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your troubles, Robyn. But so happy you hooked this lovely card up in our CUTplorations February gallery.
