ALL ABOUT THE SENTIMENT..

 Hello everyone,

Well, that week flew by, and now it is time for a new challenge over at Little Red Wagon and this time the lovely Imke is our hostess and her theme is " Make the Sentiment the Main Focus"...

I remember when I first started making cards I never made room for a sentiment and then never knew where to put one, but I got it now..


And what a surprise..Cone Flowers..I just can't help it..
so using my altenew inks I started blending..


Mostly at the edges as they layer up so much you only see the edges..


But each layer as I went got darker...


and darker and also coloured the dome part...


Until I had a full tray of  petal parts..


Layered them all up and a splattering of white ink..done.


Cut a frame and Ooo look, I could make a window with the leftovers...


But this time I had a thought process going already
 and not a good idea to change it too much..


Plenty of card layers from the backs of paper pads under this frame for dimension..


Yep, she is a thick one..


Love layers and dimension..


And my beautiful stamped and gold embossed sentiment..


The flowers and added tiny hearts..


Gave it a gold butterfly too and sort of wished now
 I had put the flowers together and not had that one up the top..
too late now...SOLD..




Thanks so much for stopping by..
I'll see you tomorrow..

Chrissy, what a fabulous card! I never leave your blog without learning something new. Not only are your flowers incredible, but the way you "dimensionalized" the frame is fabulous! I have that die, too, and lots of others that could be coaxed into similar shapes. Thanks so much for the tutorial and tips. I love your blog. hugs, de
