Fun Technique Challenge today! But I wish I'd used a more prominent pattern of dp. It has faint pattern but after embossing and sanding, it all but disappeared. I still like the look, though.
My crocus image was colored w/ Copics and fussy cut. I have no idea if crocus anywhere are actually this color, but I colored them to go with the papers. I stamped the crochet circle on a piece of the same dp I used for the left side and used the matching die to cut it then attached it to a Decorative Labels 1 cut out of another piece of the paper from the same pad. The stripe on the right is also from this collection.
I die cut a piece of the pink pattern using a couple of border dies and attached over the seam then attached my crocus layers on top. The sentiment was stamped directly on the 4.25 x 5.50 card front.
Thanks so much for looking! I'll have it on my blog in just a bit: The Write Stuff

Julie, your card is simply awesome. First off, fabulous coloring and beautiful framing of the crocus. Your panels that sit side by side is what caught my eye. With the patterns going in the same direction they flow so well together. Great job!

This is just gorgeous Julie. I love the patterned paper for the die cuts and just the white for the embossing. The flowers look so spectacular I want to pick them and enjoy them in a vase. Exquisite!
