I apologize for my blurry photo here. I took it quickly before sunset and by the time I went in to edit it for my blog, it was too late to retake it because I had lost the good light outside. The close-up side shot gives a little more clarity:
I have to hurry off but just a few details about this card first:*The card base is stamped in Crumb Cake ink on Sahara Sand CS. I used the Woodgrain background stamp for a little texture. The edges are sponged with more Crumb Cake ink.
*For color, I chose to use So Saffron, Pear Pizazz, and Baja Breeze. The edges of the leaves, which were punched using the new Build a Blossom punch, were sponged with Old Olive ink.
*The flower image is inspired by the a la carte stamp called For You Flower. Rather than stamp the whole flower, I punched the Saffron part using the coordinating XL Fancy Flower punch. Then, I stamped the image in Baja Breeze, on Very Vanilla CS and punched the middle out using a 1 1/4" circle punch.
* A Marina Mist Designer button and a length of Baja Breeze Seam Binding (Occasions Mini Catalog) finish the card. The button is tied off with a bit of crochet cotton but I could have easily used linen thread as well.
As always, please contact me with any questions about this card or other projects you see here. Have a wonderful day!
