Hi Everyone - hope you enjoyed your weekend and had a great Sunday!!
This card is for this week's QFTD Challenge. Our new Queen as of last Thursday is Claudia (aka CJZim) - Congratulations Claudia, your gallery is AMAZING!! I had several cards I wanted to CASE but I just kept going back to this beauty: { ClaudiaÂ’s gorgeous Brayered Elements Card }
I loved that Claudia used a brayering technique to color her Flower Pot, but I just had my brayer out the other day and wanted to do something new. I decided to try the Acetate Background technique. To create the look of the flower pot I used several different markers on Acetate, then spritzed and pressed it onto my cardstock. I love this look!! DH was amazed!! Other changes were with size/type and color of flowers, white on white matting, different EF and sentiment.
I used a bone folder to get the curve on the pot, and three different embossing styluses to curve and bend the flowers and leaves.
Thanks Claudia for all your inspiration - and Congrats again!! A huge thans to Kittie as well, for sharing what you do - I was definitely inspired by you today as well .
Thanks everyone for looking!!
Hugs,
Audrey

I honestly cannot believe that this very card is in my possession! Really? Yes, it's true. It's so beautiful in the photo, but so much sweeter IRL and I'm honored to be the owner. Audrey, you are an amazing woman with such talent. How blessed you are, and I'm blessed to have met you too! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Hugs
