It's been awhile since I have posted on this blog. I have been having to go down to Midland and be with my folks, both of whom are very elderly. My mom got sick and had to be hospitalized. She is home again, and slowly recovering.
The card I am offering in this post is for the Mod Squad Challenge, hosted this week by the very talented Lisa Babitz. She has challenged us to use the negative from a die cut or the like.
Here's my card:
I have to say I don't love this photo. The roses are really more the color of the patterned paper, but here it looks like they clash. And what's up with that blue cast??? UGH!! Anyway, I embossed the roses from the GKD Flowers and Frames Stamp Set with pearized embossing powder on watercolor paper and watercolored them. Then I cut a circle out of the patterned paper and popped it up with the roses behind.
Here are the Ingredients:
Core'dinations Pearls Card Stock
K & Company Best of Susan Winget Patterned Paper
GKD Flowers and Frames Stamp Set
Recollections Pearl Embossing Powder
GKD Gold Embossing Powder
Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers
Spellbinders Circle Dies
It felt good to get back into my inner sanctum - hope you are having a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend. I know I am. And I adore your comments, thanks for stopping by!
Another beauty! Love the pretty patterned paper and that flower is gorgeous. So glad to hear that your Mom is home again. Hope that she is feeling better.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! Your water colored roses look gorgeous and look great in your negative circle frame. I love that patterned paper as well. (You mentioned that you were not happy with your photo. I can't tell you how often the colors in my photos are NOTHING like the actual colors. I guess light reflects differently on different surfaces and "confuses" the carmera! We've all been there!! Anyway, your card is gorgeous!) Thanks for joining us over at the Mod Squad Challenge this week.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your mom is home and recovering. It's great that you are able to be there for her.
So glad that Mom is better and you can do some creating and relaxing. I love this new kit from Gina and this is another example of what can be done with it. I think all of the cards look better IRL. This is a sweet little card.
