Thinking of You for Sunday Stamps

Hello and welcome!  It's time for a new challenge at Sunday Stamps and this time we have a fabulous sketch by Amy.  It's pretty wide open, leaving you lots of options for design, so I hope you'll come join us!

I had some dies and a foiling plate that I'd purchased this summer and hadn't used it, and this sketch was perfect for putting them to use.

To start I used Glimmer Gold Hot Foil to create the background panel.  I love the delicate lines of the patterns, which make it eye catching but remains subtle for a background.  I trimmed it down then mounted it with thin foam tape on a white card base.  

The sword fern and flowers were die cut from white cardstock, then various inks were blended over the pieces.  When the ink dried, I adhered them to the foiled panel popping up just the flower heads with thin foam squares.  I created a bow from gold twine and added it to the stems, then the last step was to gold heat emboss the sentiment, die cut it and add it with foam tape.  

Thanks so much for visiting, I appreciate it.  Please be sure to pop over to the Sunday Stamps blog and check out all the beautiful cards by the other DT members and hopefully join us for this challenge!

Take care!
