It's almost impossible to show glitter effects in photos (I rarely use it), but this card has glittery sparkle within the bouquet tumbling down the center for a 'fairytale' feel. The flowers are a mix of Prima and handmade. You'll find the two that are handmade at the bottom of the floral spray, which are my first attempt at Foamiran flowers.
A label die and hand punched lace anchor the florals at the right edge.
The sentiment stamp below seems perfect for this project.
A loopy twine bow adds a feminine flourish. I love including bows of all types, and rarely feel like a card is finished without one. The interior provides ample of space for a personal message.
Thank you so much for being here with me today! It's such an honor that you stopped in for a visit. I send wishes for gentle spring breezes and many happy hours in your own cozy craft space.
Hugs,

Hello Nancy, I have been away and of course the arty withdrawal symptoms were eased when I saw this card! The way you have mixed the media for the blooms is wonderful they all go together so well. What do you think of the foam, I had fun a few weeks back making delicate roses, it is a very different material!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Helly! I like the foam but it’s definitely different from the way I make my paper flowers. The first time I ordered it I got the wrong thickness, so had to re-order.
ReplyDeleteThe thicker foam works better if you gently stretch and stretch it then roll and rub and scrunch it. Seems to soften the foam and it takes on a better shape, especially for roses where you want to curl the edges and ink them. I am starting to understand the medium and enjoy using it, bit after a fair bit of practicing! I look forward to seeing your designs using more foam. Yet to order the silk foam but I think that is probably easier to use for a more shabby delicate look. Thanks for replying Nance....Helen
