Floral Stump

 Hi and welcome! Today’s sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches was designed by Narelle Farrugia. I am still on my Honey Bee die kick so pulled out some more NBUS for this card.

All the die-cut elements were cut from white cardstock and ink-blended with Altenew inks. Once I had finished the ink-blending, I arranged the elements to sort of match the sketch. I wanted a background so chose this cover plate and cut it from white and adhered it to the card base, before adding the die-cuts.

The hot-foiled sentiment was already prepared so I added it with foam tape and called it done. 

Thanks for visiting. The design team gave some fabulous cards so please check them out.

Poinsettia

Hi!  I'm late with my post for the newest challenge over at The Flower Challenge where this month we are asking players to use gold.  Here's my card which features gold embossing and gold pearls. 

I actually made this card some weeks ago and then realised last week it would work for this challenge - so win!  I stamped, stenciled and die-cut the flower and added a die-cut cover plate to a white card base.  The sentiment was gold heat-embossed then I went around the edged with darker ink to make it stand out more,

Finally, I finished with some gold pearls.

Thanks so much for visiting!  Please check out the fabulous cards made by the design team.
