Embossed Flowers


Grá O'Neill-Paper Learning Curve: Altenew Painted Flowers, Wplus9 Fresh Cut Flowers, Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangles, Simon Says Stamp Moroccan Stencil

With the fabulous inspiration from the Card Concept photo and design team, I wanted to create a card using flowers in the classy and elegant style. I love the Painted Flowers by Altenew and used their March Challenge From Places Abroad to design the gold geometric background on vellum taking a little inspiration from each of the photos.

I've also played along with Craft for the Craic's Bingo using the diagonals: flowers, more than two layers [five] and diecut or image, more than two layers [five] and stitching. I wasn't sure if my flowers should be classified as such or as an image, so I hedged my bets!
Virginia's View Embossing Challenge was also on my mind with the embossing paste background, platinum embossed flowers and my die also embossed the card base a little as well.

Challenges:
Altenew March Challenge: From Places Abroad [gold ceiling design, geometric pattern on glass door, flower mosaic]
The Card Concept Challenge #30: Thinking of You [Pink roses, white container/frame] {winner)
