Good Morning everyone
Today is the card i made for my mum for Mothers day yesterday
A5 in size. I first die cut the poppy die from silver mirror card and then coloured them with alcohol markers in green, orange & red.
I made my white card blank using the largest nesting die. I then took another piece of white card and embossed with the 3D lace embossing folder, i did the letter press technique and inked one side on the folder with tumbled glass and cracked pistachio distress inks and then run through my machine. Doesn't show up well in the photo and more noticeable in real life but its gives a subtle background colour.
I then used the nesting dies and using every other size die to cut the embossed panel into frames. I adhered the largest outside frame to the card front with 6mm of foam tape, the next size down with 4mm of foam tape and the next size down with 2mm, i then added the smallest piece flat in the middle. This card was hand delivered so i could put as much foam tape & dimension as i liked on it. Its just a way of adding interest to what is essentially a very simple card.
I then arranged the mirror card poppies, using 3 of them and cutting up the various stems/flowers to alter them and build them up, i tucked the ends into the frames so it looks like they are growing out of it.
Stamped sentiment to finish
You can really see the colour on the poppies here, when the light hits the mirror card them really do shimmer and shine.
