Good Afternoon! Things have really settled down and I have had lots of time to work on cards! Today I finished up my Valentine Swap cards, and yesterday I made the card I am featuring today! This card was made using the "Brushed Flowers" stamp set by Clearly Inspired. I keep reaching for this set over and over again! I stamped the flowers three times in three different colors, all from Stampin' Up. Crushed Curry, Soft Suede, and Dusty Durango. I cut out the flowers, and accented them with glassy glaze. The leaves were made with the SU two step stampin' set "Wild Rose". I used my Janome Sew Mini, and rust colored string to sew around the three panels behind the Top Note die cut. And I cut another Top Note die cut in Crushed Curry to accent the main image. The ribbon is a giant roll I bought at the Offray Ribbon outlet in Hagerstown Md. I am SO gonna miss that place! I think this card is in my personal top 5 of cards that I have ever made.....which is A LOT! hehe Thank you for visiting my blog today and I hope you have a great week!

Wow Ronnie! I love this card! I had to click on a close up to get the full effect of the glaze on the flowers. Very cool. What a great layout and I really like the stitching you did on the card. I really have to get out my Janome machine and start using it. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Ronnie!!
ReplyDeleteRonnie, this is gorgeous, love it!
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are great...the color combo is so nice and warm!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card! Truly elegant.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning! Such rich, vibrant colors for these gorgeous flowers. I love how you cut them out and popped them up on the front of your card. The three panels in the background really create a nice effect too. :)
