Okay so it is day 3 of the honouring and today I wish to honour this particular person who I admire and as always am inspired, her simple yet elegant style seems to never falter, her creations are always something I try to aspire to. Although, I don't always leave comments on her beautiful blog, I am always in the background admiring from a distance. The wonderful and talented lady that I speak of is non other then Nichole Heady.
The elegance and simplicity of this card drew me straight in and I knew there and then I was going to create a card based on this gorgeous card.
Here is my take on Nichole's beautiful creation.
Starting with some Aqua Mist card stock and the stamp set Tin Types Background Basics. I trimmed the card stock and inked the stamp with Aqua Mist ink, stamping the entire piece of card stock. Next, taking the Beautiful Blooms die and some Vellum, die cutting two times, adhering the flowers one on top of other and adding a button to the centre of the flower with some white twine. Taking the stamped card stock once again and adding two thin strips of scor tape, I adhered these to the bottom of the card stock, adding glitter. I adhered the flower to the stamped card stock, adding a trimmed white card stock tag stamped with a sentiment from the Through the Trees stamp set. Finally, adding some pearls to complete the card.
Nichole creates with such exquisiteness that I am always giddy with excitement when I am at her blog viewing what she has been up to, don't forget to pop on over and have a look around her gorgeous blog.
Okay, so I am back to hit the craft room to create for tomorrows post, I hope you enjoy today's.
Hugs
