Hello Lovely

Hello and welcome!  I have a card to share that I made for the current challenge over at Color Hues.  Cindy chose the fabulous combination of red and aqua, so I couldn't resist playing along.

TCH #41

I had some fun using an older floral frame die and doing a bit of paper piecing using colored cardstock.

The Carnation Frame die was cut three times, once each from red, aqua and white.  I layered the white frame on two additional rectangles of the same size to give it stability and dimension, as well as provide a place to glue the interior pieces.

After puzzle piecing and adhering all the image components, I worked on the card base.  A panel of white was cut with a cover die, then adhered to the red card base.  I found some long retired textured red cardstock that was cut down with a rectangle die and layered atop the white panel.  The main image was adhered, then the sentiment stamped, die cut with a circle die and popped up with foam tape.  Although not really visible from the photos, I finished things off by painting the red flower petals with a shimmer pen.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it!  Take care!
