I thought of you card, Just add ink #508



Inspiration for todays card is from Just add ink, stop over to see the challenge here.




Just make up a project using something that starts with an F.  My card has Flowers.   I love Gorgeous Grape, I pined for Blackberry bliss when it went out of the line, but now that it's back I don't use it as much as Grape, partly because Grape has the Highland Heather matching shade as well as for now Purple Posy and even lighter shade.  But side note, my front door is Blackberry bliss.

I love have sentiments that I can make up that go with a lot of different reasons, and I can finish off my inside of the card with something more specific. 
The hardest part of this card was die cutting the lace trim, but well worth the effort. I ended up having to shim the center of the card to get it cut all the way through.  My poor Big Shot is 8 yrs old tho, and that might be the problem. It's still going strong tho.  But I'm tapping my foot waiting on the new machine from SU. 

So, colors today are Whisper white, Purple Posy, Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green.  I used purple posy for my card base, it's a standard A2 base, then I embossed the Gorgeous Grape with the Parisian Flourish embossing folder. I cute the whole piece of lace out, then used the small end die to cut down to just the smaller piece and layered that over the top.  Stamped and punched out my flowers, and added the rhinestones from Noble Peacock rhinestone pack of jewels. And stamped and cut my leaves out using the leaf punch.
After stamping my sentiment I die cut that out with the Stitched Shapes dies.

I'm more then happy to answer questions, but you'll have to get your answer here in my comment section, it's the only way Blogger will work.  Thanks for stopping.
