This is all white work with just a hint of colour in the background. I played about with the border a little. We used a Siesta type grid to add very small embossed flowers in the border squares - 50 to be precise. I didn't like mine when I had finished so I have hidden them behind some punched flowers. I punched 50 pairs of flowers, using pale purple parchment, and stuck them together in pairs. Embossed them into a cup shape and then fixed to the border and added a crystal to each one. Took me almost as long as the white work but I was happier with the result.
It is so difficult to get a decent photo with this Winter light so I scanned this one. I will try another photo session if we get some decent light.
Carol - I am so IMPRESSED with your patience, punching out all those flowers. By the way, it was great to see you back at the workshop again. You were missed!

ReplyDeleteOh Carol, this is stunning. A lot of patience was needed for this, and I love the bling around the side.

A beautiful card Carol someone will love receiving it on their birthday. A good idea to use the punched flowers if you weren't happy with the original design - they do look as if they were meant to be there!
ReplyDeleteCarol this is beautiful. That border is stunning. Michelle x
