Hi, I wanted to CASE this gorgeous card by Katherine at
I love how she trimmed the Lovely Peony Outline diecut so that you can fit more of them on the card.
My colours came from the current challenge at The Card Concept
as did the inspiration for the lacy background. My card is in the clean and simple category, or maybe clean and layered.
At Simon Says Stamp Wednesday blog the challenge is to emboss it, using dry or wet embossing or paste.
My background is embossed with the Entangle folder (I think it may be retired).
A new challenge for me is AAA Cards
The challenge this week is to create a CAS card be inspired by Angela.
I was inspired by her row of gorgeous crisp flowers and the pops of colour.
I diecut the peony centres from scraps of white and cream card. I used up quite a few bits as I cut 2 for each flower, coloured them with distress inks and glued them together for dimension. I was even tempted to put the trimmed outer petals into the snippets box! The only thing that stopped me was the fact they were too fiddly to untangle from the rest of the scraps.
So, I'm visiting the snippets playground again at Pixie's Crafty Workshop.
Materials used:
Memory Box Lovely Peony Outline die; Entangled embossing folder; distress inks; ribbon and bling from stash.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

Fabulous card Cathy! Sigh, such a shame that embossing folder is retired, it's lovely. WHY do they DO that, grump, grump :( The peonies are just perfect!
