I'm not sure the colours are showing up well in this pic unfortunately. I made some little pink and chocolate crochet flowers and found a thread close in colour to Kiwi Kiss so made the little leaves also.I followed the JAI#24 sketch this week. As much as I love CAS and lots of white space, I'm still not sure about this one.
I've layered Bella Rose dsp on Choc Chip c/s. I sponged the edges of my whisper white c/s with Pink Pirouette ink and then stamped one of the Stem Silhouettes (retired) images and sentiment. I put a clear rhinestone brad through the centre of each flower before 'popping' them up on my card front. I used the same Bella Rose dsp to pretty up my envelope a little too.
Some trivia - Stem Silhouettes was the very first SU! stamp set that I purchased and I still love it as much as I did back then :o) Can you remember your first stamp set purchase?
oh man - this is GORGEOUS! You so have to sell those darn flowers! lol

Hee hee, can you believe I worked out how to crochet the leaves? I'll make you some for your stash :o)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, the flowers are fab.

Beautiful!! A friend has just taught me how to crochet flowers but there's never enough hours in the day!
ReplyDeletePatrice, this is ADORABLE!! You are too darn clever. Totally beautiful. You "do" white space very well :) I can't remember if my first ever SU! set was "Season of Joy" or "Short & Sweet". Either way, they both still get a lot of use (gotta love that).
ReplyDeleteHey Patrice this card is absolutely gorgeous and even more so since you made your own crochet flowers and leaves! Just stunning!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Patrice!!
