Everything Has Beauty

I'm back with a card for our latest moodboard created by my talented teammate Nancy for Just Us Girls Challenge #675. I think her moodboard is phenomenal, having just the right amount of colors and elements...things I just love! I have CASEd a gorgeous card by Broni Holcombe here








Products I used:

Memory Box: Enchanting Poppy Stems die

Simon Says Stamp: Etched Laurel Leaves dies

Sizzix: Hexagon Frenzy embossing folder

Tim Holtz: Small Talk sticker

Concord and 9th: Dew Drops

Distress Inks

Ink Blending brushes

I borrowed the embossing folder the other day when I had friends over to stamp. I embossed the honeycomb on white linen cardstock, but the next day I ink blended pinks onto it and liked the result. I die cut and ink blended the flower and leaves, then arranged them on the embossed panel. I mounted it all onto a white A2 card base and added the sentiment and some dew drops. Spring is here!!!

We hope you will join us this week with Nancy's beautiful moodboard. I have been looking forward to using it to make a card or two.

  2. I love that EF when I saw it in white but it looks even better now that you inked it up with Pink. Speaking of inking..your petals and leaves look wonderful too. I totally love your card and thanks for the encouragement on my mood board, I appreciate you!
