I know, I know, it should be third time lucky - but this works better with the story!
Hello blogland,
So a near total lack of posting again this week, mostly due to trying to get this blooming card right! Flexing my Clean and Simple muscles again, but my goodness this one did not want to come together. I even dreamt about it and it distracted me while I was doing my exercises - neither of which normally happens.
Anyway we got there eventually and, although still not 100% happy with it, it's something like the idea in my head.
Supplies used:
Rubber stamps:
Image:
Altenew - Peony Bouquet
Sentiment:
Taylored Expressions - Simple Strips: Birthday
Die:
Taylored Expressions - Simple Strips: Well Rounded
What I did:
Stamped the leaves and berries from Peony Bouquet in an arrangement that I liked in the corner - as shown onto a card mount. You can't see from the picture but the mount is linen card.
Then stamped and die-cut sentiment and added it to the card with 3d foam squares for dimension.
Glued the panel onto a square of coloured card and then glued that onto the card blank.
et voila, job done!
I'm back to stamping, colouring and not dreaming about cards now!
Hope everyone in blogland are doing well and happy.
Signing off now,
Sarah

I think this is a really pretty card Sarah! I love that you went with a subtler autumn palette with these pale pinks and greens and the layout is great with the stamping confined to the corner. Thank you for coming to play with us at Addicted to CAS. Vicky x
