Oh this all started because Cathleen created this really knock out gorgeous card ... Oh it is really wonderful... anyway... I love it so much... and cant' really get it out of my brain... so I had to try and use the main part of it with this card... which is also a casing of another gal, who I can't think of her name right now... but her cards are really very nice... creative in so many ways...
So I combined the two of them...
I used the Trellis punch by Martha for the top and the bottom of this card... (5X7 in size) and used the yellow paper to show off the punching a little more...
Then I used my dotted swiss folder to create the back ground... and added some of the Flowers...
which were created with the Spellbinder Sunflower templates... with some mustard distressing ink on the pedals... used a golden paper for the centers... and used all tiny scraps... so they are all different colors too..
Added a few smaller flowers, and the big yellow organza bow for a nice big touch..
When you open the card you see what is above.. I couldn't really get good pictures today of this card... it is weird the way it looks... but just study it and you will see how it opens...
The center pops out... and there are cut outs... one is an oval and the outer done in the white is a large scalloped oval... one of the newer ones... very nice and soft looking.. Added a saying on the inside... "Beautiful things are seen with the eye... they are felt with the heart..." So VERY true..
the flowers on the inside are also sunflowers... and I also used the mustard distressing ink pad on these too... love Ranger products...
I had a lot of fun using this punch method... but you will see more of this tomorrow... I have some more cards to share with you later too... but can't show you now...
It's a secret... until about 12 tonight... come on back... shhhhhhh.....
Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie
This is lovely, Bonnie, and it reminds me of the surprise flowers I got today for my birthday from my son and DIL! It was comprised of yellow and white daisies, mums, etc. with a pale yellow ribbon...so much like your card. Just wanted to thank you for all your kind comments on my blog...it means a lot.
