Happy Saturday friends. It's a beautiful day here is South Wales, glorious sunshine all day but very breezy (perfect for drying my washing lol!). I hope you're having a fab day and the weather is good where you are too. I'm sharing a slimline card I made for a friend in work who's birthday is today. Apart from the sentiment there is no stamping on this card. Here is my card:
close up of the card:
pretty gold embossing & splatters:
I die cut the flowers from white card and coloured them with oxide inks for a softer effect. I die cut the butterfly from glitter card and black for the body. I created the background by simply splattering some gold pigment paint in 2 shades of gold for a sparkly but clean and simple look. I added the panel to a peach coloured card panel and then adhered this to my white card base. The sentiment was embossed in gold embossing powder and I added a few pearls for a final touch. The finished card size is 4" x 8 1/4". I don't make slimline cards very often but I really like them so I will have make more of them soon.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
