I made this card for today's TLC challenge: inspired by Belleek pottery. We were to use negative embossing which is not visible in my pic; I used blushing bride for my color & it's barely visible irl. I like the effect, though, and I assure you it's there.
I loved the Belleek baskets, which have a woven look to the center. My bird is sitting on a woven mat of cs, sponged with blushing bride and punched into a circle.
TFL and have a wonderful day.

Beautiful! Great job with the embossing. I wanted to use my bird punch with the technique today but couldn't figure out how. I love how yours turned out and with those little flowers. Great job.

Sweet. I just commented on someone's card about associating shamrocks with Belleek, but you reminded me about the basketweave as well. Love how you incorporated that into this card.
