A large card featuring a beautifully embossed card front, some shimmery paper and a collaged focal image
I have been enjoying the process of making some large cards for my sister!! This one features a large embossed card front which had a greeting in the center embossed area. I decided to replace the greeting with a layered focal element. I trimmed the shimmery pink paper first to fit in the embossed rectangle and then when looking for an image that would work. I found a collaged postcard which I received in a swap which had the right colours and could be trimmed to the right size. So I trimmed the large flower from the postcard. I am guessing it is a floral paper napkin which has been stamped in black with a flower image and then the image has been coloured. It is perfect! Just what I needed. I added two little strips of shimmery pink to the top and bottom of the card and mounted this large element to a dark pink card front!! I tried to convince myself to add a greeting. In the end, it did not get a greeting because I could not find anything that worked really well!! Therese
