June 2023 Card Chain Challenge

 
Greetings Fellow Card Makers!


I really took license with this sketch idea, but to be honest, I glued the flowers down before re-looking at the sketch. I used flowers instead of circles and some old lace from my stash does mimic the vertical line. So anyway, here is my card. It has arrived in Illinois. 

Starting with Very Vanilla cardstock from SU, I embossed an A2 side folded card with an old Spellbinders embossing folder called Horsehair. Next I added the lace piece.

The flowers are from SU's retired Prized Peony stamp and die sets. I stamped them using my favorite oldie but goodie color, Pretty in Pink. After die cutting, I cut off part of the largest flower that is shown on the lace. The cut off bud is glued on the inside along with a note to Chris.

For the final step, I stamped in Altenew Ink called Cloudy Night this sentiment from the Peony set above. The friends I've made in the CCC are prieless and I appreciate every one of them.

Lovely, but hot weather here in MN. Hopefully some rain will fall before too long. Happy 4th of July to you who celebrate. 

Product / Technique Options: Lace / Shaped Card


Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come by again.

  2. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who sometimes works to a memory of the sketch rather than having it in front of me! This is lovely Jeanne, the combination of flowers and lace is perfect!
