I mentioned in this post that my bestie and blog-sharer Brandy celebrated a birthday earlier this month. It is a bit daunting having a bestie with such artistic talent. This caused me to make a run at a couple different card designs and I'm sharing the results of those efforts. These cards are beautiful, but they just didn't make the cut for my Brandy. Just a note - these cards are A7 sized. A best friend deserves a little bigger card to celebrate her birthday!
I used Distress Oxides to stamp the individual flowers and then a colored pencil to add some color back into the blooms. The card front was stamp and embossed with clear sparkle embossing powder to give a finished look. A light brushed ink created a pale backdrop for the flowers. This led to my last attempt.
For this card, I wanted a saturated backdrop and so I used a lot more color to blend. In the end, I liked all three cards, but I liked the second design that I made more than that. So, these go into the stash.
My bestie spoils me so. All the cards are beautiful!
