Framed Flower!

Hello everyone! Rather a late posting I am sorry, but had a rotten headache when I woke this morning, I am sure from all the coughing I have been doing lately..LOL, so hence I went back to bed before having to start work and feeling much better now.

Tonight I wanted to share another card I created for Purple Onion Designs using the Framed Flower stamp set...Love that you are able to create so many creations with this fun set.

So before I jump into my creation I know that you are all wondering who was the winner of Jane's Doodles Daffodil and that lucky person is:


Congrats Lou Spiden can you contact me with your email address so that I can get Jane to send you the image...to everyone that left me lovely comments thank you so much.

Okay now onto how I created the card.....

100_5942


Taking white card stock and the Late 1800's Script Background stamp, I inked it up with some Soft Sand ink and stamped the entire piece of card stock, trimmed it to size and rounded the top corners of the card stock. I then took pink card stock, trimmed to size and stamped a sentiment from the Handwritten Holiday stamp set with Versamark Ink, embossing it with white embossing powder, adhering this to the stamped background and adding twine to the top of the pink card stock. Using more white card stock and stamping the Framed Flower stamp, colouring just the flower in using my Prismacolor Pencils, adding shading to make the flower stand out, trimmed around the frame and adhered the flower to the stamped background using foam dimensionals. Finally adhering to a trimmed white card with the top corners rounded and a scattering of rhinestones to match.

There are 2 other framed stamp sets in the new line of stamps from Stephanie Ackerman...so make sure you go check them out...

Okay I am off to find a blanket to wrap around my knees, came home from work tonight to find out our top plate of the wood heater has a huge hole in it and we now have to have a new plate made...brrrr! and we are having quite a few frosty mornings and quite cold nights...so pleased they invented electric blankets and gas heaters...although I have the heater there still seems to be a draft somewhere....

Have a wonderful night everyone, I will be back here tomorrow with another creation.

Hugs

Oh Joy, this card is so so cute! I love that flower and the sentiment is perfect. Another fabulous creation! It's so funny to have you talking of being chilled, wrapped in blankets, etc. while we are facing the start of some really warm weather!! I hope you get a new plate soon and figure out where the draft is coming from. Glad you're through the worst of the cold and I do know what mean about getting a headache from coughing...been there! Hope your day is wonderful.
praying for your complete recovery!
