I love this colour palette, and I put my thinking cap on for a card for my hubby, or even one of my children. It's a card that says it all really, and after I had stamped it, I thought the leaf image stamped in this way looked like a poinsettia...I have an idea for next years Christmas cards lol!
Here is the colour inspiration:
And here is my take:
I have used a kraft card base, and layered a brown piece of card cut with my new nesties Scalloped Squares. Then using the Frame it set from Waltzingmouse Stamps, stamped the square frame in memento Rich Cocoa onto a piece of kraft card, then cut with my nesties small squares.
Using the leaf motif from the same stamp set, stamped into a flower shape in Dewdrop Ladybug Red into the frame and also onto some spare kraft, then cut out and layered them into the frame.
The sentiment is also from the same set. The little heart, also in Lady bug Red is from WMS Gingerbread Joy set. Once the ink was dry, I added some glossy accents to the heart.
The central circle is a motif from WMS Teeny Trees stamped in Rich cocoa and layered into the middle of the flower with a foam dot.
To finish off, I added some metallic dots to the corners which I had bought from Michaels in Florida when we were on holiday last year and I had never used before (yes I am a hoarder!), and added gold stickles to the veins of the petals and a red dewdrop to the centre.
Inside I have stamped a sentiment that I bought the other day from my local craft store, it says:
The love in your heart
Wasn't put there to stay,
Love isn't love
'til it's given away!
By a company called My sentiments Exactly (never heard of them) but I thought it was a beautiful sentiment, and just right for this time of year! Finished off with the little heart again stamped in lady bug red.
Thanks for stopping by
