I am giving this to a special friend who has just been told she has a new job, I'm just hoping she doesn't log in here this weekend and see's this before I have a chance to give it to her!
Here are the inspiration pics:
And here's my take:
I have used a kraft card base, and used papers by Trimcraft Love letters paper stack, and Papermania Chatsworth Vintage Collection.
I have cut the flower using papers from the Trimcraft pad, and V&A Linen paper Quilts stack using my Nestabilities Blossoms set.
I scrumpled the different sized blossoms up, then stuck together with glue dots, and added some Opal Dust for some glimmer and glitz.
The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps Fancy Phrases, as it the dotted frame around it, stamped in Distress inks Walnut Stain and Crushed olive.
The frilled bottom is a Waltzingmouse border stamp from the Victorian Frippery set, stamped in Versamagic Sage, and hand trimmed.
I finished off the card with some green twill, rescued from my Mother's Day bouquet from Waitrose (the underside of the ribbon has 'Blossom and Bloom' printed on it!) and a copious amount of gems.
I love this card, and I can't wait to give it to my very special friend, for whom I'm so happy for :-))
Thanks for stopping by,
Pauline xx
