I was inspired by Inspired By! and I'm also playing at the Flower Challenge #25 - Add Sparkle for their 2nd anniversary.
My card base is Basic Black. I made a mat of silver foil and embossed it with the Woodland TIEF. I adhered that to the card base with liquid glue.
My flower is from the Painted Harvest stamp set. I stamped it in Gray Granite and Mango Melody. I cut it out with one of the Stitched Shapes Framelits. Because it's stitched, I'm entering my card at Try Stampin' on Tuesday
Before I adhered it to the silver embossed mat, I punched 3 leaves in Silver Glimmer paper using my leaf punch. I put dimensionals on the back of the flower circle and adhered the leaves to it, then stuck it on the mat.
The sentiment from Painted Harvest is stamped in Gray Granite on a scrap of Whisper White. I punched it out with the Everyday Label punch. I added 3 Basic Rhinestone Jewels and adhered the label to the mat with more dimensionals. It was difficult to capture a good picture of this because the foil reflected my camera so I did the best I could.
For the inside, I glued a silver foil mat to the card base.

DeleteThis is gorgeous Karen. I never would have thought to use the Gray for the flower, but it's perfect. Love those embossed trees with it. The inside is just as pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Karen. I used it because I was thinking about entering a particular challenge and then forgot...lol.

DeleteVERY pretty, Karen - you've really added those silver touches beautifully, and I love the color combo on the flower! Those stitched shapes are my go-to framelits, too, lol. Thanks so much for playing at TSOT!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on behalf of TSOT, Heather.
DeletePretty! I love the sparkle.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan.
DeleteLove your Woodlands embossing on the silver. I will have to give that a try. It goes with your flower perfectly. You took the easy way and cut it out with a circle die, not like Aurora who fussy cut it. Your way is easier.
ReplyDeleteEasy does it...thanks, Shirley!
DeleteLovely card, Karen! The silver against the black is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda.

DeleteWhat an eye-catching card, Karen! I would never have thought to use the woodland embossing folder like this!!!
