SC362 Grandmother

Photo Details

Poster: Holstein

A friend asked me to make a card for her grandmother...she requested three things on it...button, ribbon and a flower. I used Roxi's awesome sketch today. I changed the dimensions and made it a long card. i started by using a 4x3 Sizzix eb folder and ran it 3 times onto the main card. I made a flower by embossing and then punching it out. I made the second layer without the gold. Added the button for center. I scored straight lines on top and bottom. I embossed a ribbon slide and the sentiment. Added a portion of the bottom punched with an edge punch. Outlined card with gold leaf pen. tfl
