This didn't quite come off - I should have made a smaller circle or a larger card...but DH reckons he'll use it.
Drew a circle and painted in the flowers with white acrylic and red and black gouache paints. Cut and embossed and layered up on a scalloped black circle. A black A2 base, then some Basic Grey embossed with the Birds and Vines, and ticket punched corners. I cut a black branch and stuck it down, with little punched flowers and red rhinestone centres. Dew-Drops in the corners, and the circle up on foam tape. If DH doesn't use this soon I think I'll pull it apart and try to do something better. But like my Dashing Christmas this too took more than one go - I dropped the lid of a paint tube on it when the paint was still wet, and it smudged :(.
ps, I think I hardly need to say, but THIS was my inspiration.
