All Occasion cards featuring florals, ribbon and metal accents


For the first card, I started with a handmade paper element featuring a stamped floral image (Magenta).  The image is embedded during the process of making the paper!!  Love the look!!  I watercoloured the flowers and added paper piercing to the edges.  I chose a hand decorated background from my stash which has a nice shimmery finish and embossed it with a floral embossing folder (CB).  I trimmed the bottom with an eyelet border punch (SU) and then added a burgundy gros grain ribbon just above the bottom edge.  I adhered the background to my card, added my floral image with 3D foam tape and used glue dots to adhere the little metal butterfly embellishement.  
For my second card, I started with a colour printed collage element featuring text and roses (Calico Collage) which I mounted on a shiny black cardstock and then added a little gold heart which I tied on with flimsy gold thread.  The background was trimmed, the flagged ribbon added and then mounted to a black card.  The focal element was added with 3D foam tape.
