IC175 Botanical Kindness

Photo Details

Poster: artystamper

Todays inspiration challenge from Stef is the Grandin Road web site.

I was inspired by this botanical print

I clear embossed my image on yellow CS - and sponged all over the panel with brown ink. Then I cut the image in thirds and adhered the pieces over a blue panel. The sentiment is stamped on a Spellbinders double ended tag that is attached with foam dimensionals. I clear embossed the butterfly and attached it with a glue dot.

I wish everyone a Blessed Easter and Passover!

Julia, that embossing the dark cs is simply divine. Such a stunning card, but what a statement it makes. Fantastic.

This is a real knockout! At first I wondered where you found yellow embossing powder, lol! Great effect sponging the whole panel, lovely card.
