I'm sneaking in at almost the last minute to the Always Use Rubber challenge, where the team want to see Summer or Autumn. So that means flowers for me, a nice change after all the Christmassy themes.
I lightly sponged the embossed background with blue ink to add a bit of colour to match in with the main image. The paper used was my first try with acrylic paper and watercolouring. It certainly has quite a nice texture but is a bit too creamy in colour for me.
A lovely card Sue and such pretty colours. Barbxx
ReplyDeletePretty and delicate and pink which I adore. I know what you mean about the slightly creamy colour of the paper. You do get used to it. Hugs Mrs A. Wishing you a Happy New year.

Gorgeous card! Such a pretty image, love your watercolouring. The embossed background is fabulous too. I have not tried acrylic paper yet. Your first try with it is brilliant! xxx
ReplyDeleteThis spring floral is just so refreshing. I love flowers, and I'm ready for spring motifs too! Love the layout, and what a pretty embossing effect. The colors are happy and cheerful, and I like the way you've placed the elements on this card. Happy New Year, and I hope you can get some welcome sunshine. We've enjoyed it.Our 2 worst winter months are what we'll be facing once we return home. It's been a nice break for us, weatherwise, and always wonderful to be with the DD. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteI love the soft sponging around the flowers! It makes them really show off! Pretty embossed background too!
