Here is a card I made for my sister for her 50th Wedding Anniversary.
Using the Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms die set, I cut out a number
of elements in Gold and white and set about making up some flowers. The gold cardstock is some that I have had for quite a while now (read
really old) and the last of it was in my 'offcuts' tray. Some of the
white pieces were left overs from my tray too! This is my 'old' element for the Creative Inspirations Challenge.
I am finding the Be Bold Blooms die set is excellent for using up the smaller leftovers/snippets.
For the background, I embossed a 210gsm white cardstock with ProvoCraft 'Victoria' embossing folder and cut to size using Waffle Flower A6 Layer dies, then mounted the background onto a 300gsm white cardbase.
I used my computer to print up the sentiment using my laser
printer, then foiled it using the Mini Minc & gold foil. I then
diecut the sentiment with one of my stitched circles dies. I am kinda pleased with how the sentiment turned out!
Sentiment was mounted to cardfront using 3d foam and then I played with the layout and layering of the flowers until I was happy with them, and finally placed some gems randomly around the cardfront.
I must say, I am really pleased with how this card turned out - all in all, a great afternoon crafting session!
