"You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough." That is a thought provoking sentiment and very true. I decided I wanted to try something a little difference. I used black cardstock on a white card base. The gold embossed flowers I used as a background and the message are from the
Stampin Up stamp set
Fifth Avenue Floral. The large colored flower is on an acrylic stamp but I don't know where I got it. I colored it with watercolor crayons, some Tombow markers, and a blending pen. I then used gold stickles in the center and crystal stickles on the petals. I covered the flower with
Diamond Glaze to give it a lacquered effect. I cut it out and popped it up on the card. The pink grograin ribbon is probably from
Joann's. I rounded the opposite corners of the black cardstock to do something a little different I had seen cased.
Lovely! from Vera
ReplyDeleteHow did you get those lovely flowers grow on your pine tree??? vtp
ReplyDeleteThe flowers on the pine tree are a Clematis vine. I wrapped chicken wire around base of pine tree and planted the vines. They are about 5 years old now and are growing very well. We learned that if we cut them back each winter, they grow hardier and have more blooms.
