For a quick and simple card, I took a 6 x 6 printed DP from Bo Bunny and embossed the corners. To do this well, I often use a very large acrylic block that I can line up with the corners of the card, to get the corners positioned in pairs at the top and bottom of the card. I used a deep red metallic EP for this design. I added the seed head which also has the characteristic art nouveau curves from the Fragrant Honeysuckle stamp set. The finishing touches were a ready made sentiment and butterfly.
Thank you for the comments you leave, they are always appreciated.

Beautiful card! Love the contrast of black and background! Have a sunny day, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteI love this - the deep red against the pink: a lovely example of how to use patterned paper with stamping. This definitely had the art nouveau feel to it & you've illustrated beautifully one of the features of Chocolate Baroque stamps: the way that elements of new releases can be used to echo elements in previous releases, as indeed those characteristic art nouveau curves do. The butterfly is a lovely touch with that particular flower head for that's exactly replicated in my back garden at present.
