- leaves from the set were cut from a previously created background using BoBunny Glitter paste and a stencil over a sprayed background, (not sure I quite like this color with the flowers, but it was glued down!). I like the shapes in this die set.
- Poppy happy sash die - 2 layers from some package chipboard. Top layer cut from the same brusho background as the flowers. This die did not cut well on the edges of the h and y, so had to snip with the scissors. Checked the die edges, and perhaps this die is not meant to cut at those areas, but it cut very nicely elsewhere. Easy to do a snip-snip. After it was glued down, added a layer of SU Crystal Effects (works like Glossy Accents). Lots of dimension. Added some of this stuff to the bottom blue flower, the leaves too.
- Darice flower EF on some red cardstock that has a pretty sheen to it. It's not shiny, but looks rather metallic.(from a 12x12 old pack). Debated on adding some gold gilding to some of the embossed flowers, but decided to leave well enough alone! That's hard to know when to stop!!!
This will be another birthday card...Hope you like it!
Have a great afternoon. Hope your Monday started the week out well for you. Blessings & Hugs.
This is beautiful!

Always a great quick way to use pre-made backgrounds...for sure as the card looks this vibrant in the end! Gerrina
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Mary, love the colours on your flowers, beautiful embossed background, .
ReplyDeleteMary the Sash dies..do not cut on the edges, they are designed to stop in your card, so you can put colour behind.

One of my fav die sets and it looks great cut from your brusho background. Love the pop of red for the background, it is indeed a happy card.

Your card is beautiful and SO fun! Love all the happy colors, Mary. I too, could never use a wafer die on double chipboard. The dimension on the sentiment looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove these squiggly flowers and leaves and they are perfect done with the Brusho backgrounds! Love that EF too! A perfect birthday card for a July 4th birthday!
ReplyDeleteLove how the background pieces you used give such a fabulous sense of dimension to those scribbly blooms, Mary ... this is so pretty! Hugs, Anita :)

wow! Love the red/white/blue brusho background you used Momma Mary! It looks so pretty. I love the green of the leaves and think it looks great with the flowers. I also love that background you embossed and the happy die is such a pretty font. You definitely have a winner with this one! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteYour use of Brushos is fantastic, Mary! I like the mum EF in the background! So pretty! Hugs, de
ReplyDeleteHi Mary, beautiful card, I really admire that cut out technique, but have never tried it. I hope you are doing well. Thanks for stopping in at my blog. I find that I cannot keep up with blogs and posting at my blog like I used to. Especially this time of year where we are outside a lot. Take good care, Shirleyxx
ReplyDeleteGreat snippets card Mary, love the colours.
