Fun With Florals For The PDCC
A couple of floral cards for The Play Date Cafe Challenge.
I used an image from Autumn Leaves stamped onto glossy card and embossed in white. Machine stitching has been added to the outside edge and hand stitching added to the petals.
A close up of the hand stitching.
The large floral is created from the Tattered Florals die. Distress Inks tumbled glass and dusty concord have been used throughout.
I have used the same image for my second card this time stamping with Distress Inks and spritzing with a little water to give a watercolour effect. The bird is from 7 Gypsies.
The picture above is our inspiration for this week from The Play Date Cafe. Enjoy your weekend, Tracy x x
