Now I've a card for the Let's Squash It! challenge #23 - Now Don't Be So Square
- Stamped the flower & leaves (Papermania; Build a Rose set) in smokey greay Versafine and water coloured with Distress Ink, then fussy cut them out
- Die cut the hexagon from white card (Avery Elle: pierced hexagon)
- Embossed the hexie with Darice EF - Flower Pod Background and blended Shabby Shutters DO over the raised areas
- Stamped the sentiment (unknown) with black Versafine on white card strip
- Folded matching burnt orange card and measured out a larger card shape around the embossed panel
- Attached all the elements with foam dots
Thanks for stopping by my blog.... hope you're having a wonderful time too, Cheers Robyn

ReplyDeleteI don't know what happened, but I have not received any of you posts for a good while now. I guess I will resubscribe. Don't have a clue what the problem has been.
Very pretty card - embossing with gold and then painting is new for me but I find I really enjoy doing it. Your painting is wonderful -- can't get over how well you fussy cut that flower out!
Well I am off to see what all I missed on your blog!
