Still working on large cards for donation!! I am enjoying using fun new papers from my sister. She has been destashing her decorative papers and I have been the beneficiary. For these two cards I used a deep aqua/teal paper with yellow floral accents as the main paper and a coordinating yellow paper which has just a bit of texture. For the card on the left, I added a border punched with the eyelet punch (SU) on both sides just above the middle of my card after applying a full piece of the aqua/teal paper. I used a large rectangle of the aqua white core cardstock and embossed it with distressed line embossing folder (CB) than sanded. it. I added small pieces of coordinating ribbon to the foil layer before layering it onto the aqua layer. The flower is created using a large layered flower die (SX - red). I cut the largest layer and third layer from light yellow cardstock , the second from a coordinating aqua cardstock and the smallest from a dark yellow cardstock. I embossed all the layers using two different embossing folders - Swiss Dots and another brocade background one. I glued them together to create my flower and adhered this element to my foil layer with double sided tape. It still needed a "bit of something" so I dug through my leaves stash and found these birch leaf punchies in green which worked perfectly!! I added double sided tape and tucked them under the edge of the flower - done!!
Pretty much a repeat of the first for my second one. I changed the orientation from landscape to portrait, used D'vine swirl (CB) on the aqua white core layer and the yellow flower layers. The brocade on on the light aqua and dark yellow center. Just a strip of the yellow paper down the center of the background which was textured with my pattern tracing wheel before being adhered over the dark aqua teal paper. I also rounded the corners of the aqua and foil pieces. I have been enjoying the process and I have been reasonably productive!! Therese
