This card is for a young Mom, who will be celebrating her first Mother's day!
I'm playing along in 2 challenges with this card. Take a look!
Just Us Girls #82 Wild Card Challenge - use the emboss resist technique
Colour Q Challenge - CQC #82
Fun challenges, huh? I think so...since I like emboss resist and I love a blue and green color palette!
Here is my take on the two challenges:
I embossed the 3 flowers (Many Wishes by Gina K) with clear embossing powder on whisper white card stock, then sponged on some baja breeze, pear pizzazz and kiwi kiss ink. I used baja breeze cs for matting, and mounted it all on an always artichoke card base. I used some of Stampin' Up's beautiful seam binding (in baja breeze). I LOVE their seam binding...I just bought two more colors recently! It may be difficult to see it, but I tied a little mini key (from 7 Gypsies) under the bow, using some white floss. The sentiment is stamped in jet black Staz-On.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you'll leave a comment.
