I was in the mood for a shabby chic spring card and found this lovely inspiration photo over at City Crafter! Such gorgeous flowers...so pretty! The weather here in NW Ohio turned chilly once again. What a let down since it was wonderful weather last weekend. It's in the 50's here. A big change from 80 degree weather! But, it will turn warmer again for the weekend, so that's a good thing!:-)
Ok, I'm sure you're here to take a peek at my card. And, without further delay here is my card...
I started with a white card base and paired it with light green and lovely paper from Echo Park. I used an embossing folder from SU and added a border with pearls. The flower is from Spellbinders and I watched a video on how to make it. Darsie Bruno does a fabulous job showing how to make this flower! I watched her video on YouTube. I'm sure I'll be making this flower again. Here is a close up of the flower...
I added a button to the center and Maya Road pins behind the flower. A tag from PTI with sentiment was added to the bow for the final touch. Thanks so much for dropping by today! Take care and have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Maria

Maria it's always lovely to see you at CCCB. And just like me you focussed on one flower:) Fab job; and the layered flower is a true eye catcher. Thanks so much for joining us at CCCB this week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card, Maria! I love it! After some very warm and humid days, we are expecting much cooler temps tonight and the next few days. Looking forward to a taste of spring instead of the heat.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous feminine card, Maria--love everything about it! The Maya Road pins are a wonderful element!
ReplyDeleteMaria, this is exquisite! Your flower is spectacular, right down to the sweet button center! The embossing is gorgeous and I love your Echo Park paper. :o) The sweet trims and pretty bow complete this so perfectly. What a beauty, sure to be treasured. Happy Fall! (Just kidding! I've been saying that all day!) Have a wonderful night, my friend!
