Made for Monday's CAS70 challenge where the greeting was to be the focal image of the card. I used a sentiment from the SU! Whimsical Words set that I haven't inked up before.
After stamping the frame and sentiment I cut the panel out with a Label One Nestie and I embossed the shape after cutting. I also embossed a strip of white CS with a CB border folder,
For the flowers, I punched 3 of the smallest flowers from the Boho Blossoms punch. I snipped the petals a little deeper, placed each flower on a moulding mat and then spiralled a very large embossing stylus in the centre to pop them up a bit to give some shape and dimension. I finished off with half pearls in the flower centres.
This card will go to my local Cancer Research UK shop as part of their Craft for Life campaign - and I shall be donating many more! Each card is sold for £1 and all profits go to the cancer research charity. A cause that is dear to my heart as my hubby Owen suffered a cancerous brain tumour back in 1989 but he was lucky, the tumour was removed and the cancer successfully treated! We always support Cancer Research UK and my hubby is currently volunteering for a few hours a week in our local shop and he says the cards are selling well!
