Well, today's card has colours I wouldn't normally put together! But, in 'the flesh' it looks 'pretty' according to hubby!
I must say the two dazzlers in the centre stamped flowers are exactly the same colour as the smaller ones dotted around the card! Even the three at the top look a totally different colour to the bottom two! How the colour changes so drastically when a photograph is taken beats me!
The base card is a 5" square pale peach card with the same size and colour top panel. The panel was cut at an angle to reveal the stamped images underneath
In issue 193 of Simply Cards & Papercraft there is a gorgeous A4 stamp set and I used one of the larger flower
stamps for this design. I used a Memento ink pad in 'sweet plum' and coloured the flowers using one water coloured pencil. I also, gently, brushed the 'sweet plum' ink over the top of the roses
Copper bronze card was added behind the diagonal panels and the sentiment
In the same magazine there are some beautiful papers and toppers. I used some of the paper for the inside of the card as well as the 'Special wishes' tag
To complete I stamped the front and back of the matching envelope
This week's 'Friday Freebie'

Very eye-catching - eye is drawn to the flowers at the top left. I did a card like this at a workshop in Doncaster a couple of years ago - such a useful design for many different occasions!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me!
Gorgeous card, June, great design and I love the diagonal panel. I know what you mean about colours looking different in a photo - and they say that the camera never lies! xx

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card June. Thank you for sharing it. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a super card, really nice
ReplyDeleteOh, this is such a unique card design with that angled cutout to show off the stamped florals behind it. I almost never think to decorate the inside of a card but it really does a beautiful, finished look.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful card and I really love the pink flowers. That is strange how the purple embellishments look like two different colors but I've had problems with color coming out strange in photos as well. Either way though, they are the perfect detail.
