Here's a card I made last year following an idea in a magazine. If I find out which one it was, I'll update!
Plum and Lilac floral border paper from the Papermania 'The Big One' Temptations paper pad was attached to the upper part of the card blank and a panel of lilac paper was added below. A length of olive green grosgrain ribbon was attached over the join.
Plum and Lilac floral border paper from the Papermania 'The Big One' Temptations paper pad was attached to the upper part of the card blank and a panel of lilac paper was added below. A length of olive green grosgrain ribbon was attached over the join.
Using the Autumn Leaves Build-a-Flower stamp set, a flower was created by stamping on the lilac paper using Versafine Imperial Purple archival pigment ink. The petals were then overstamped using another of the build-a-flower stamps and the 'Happy Birthday' Multi-text stamp by Whispers using the ColorBox Eggplant pigment ink to create the patterns on the petals.
A swirly flourish was stamped over the edge of the lilac paper using a stamp from the HOTP Swirls stamp set and the Versafine Spanish Moss archival pigment ink.
The stamped petals were adhered to the back of a circle of olive green card cut using a Nestabilities circle die. The flower was attached over the ribbon and a clear faux gem was added in the centre of the green circle.
The 'Happy Birthday' sentiment, from Whispers, was stamped using the Imperial Purple ink.
Clear faux gems were then added along the edge of the lilac paper.
