HEARTFELT CREATIONS BURST OF SPLENDOR CARD

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends and visitors.
Thank you for all your comments on my last
card and box.

Today I have a card I made with my Burst of 
Splendor paper.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.


Now the inside.



This is a 8"x8" size card.
I distress inked the edges of the white card with
Victorian Velvet, and Dusty Concord Distress
Inks, that gave it such a lovely colour.
I distress inked the matting card and the paper
with Dusty Concord too.
Now this paper comes double sided so I 
photocopied the lovely back piece because I 
wanted to use the border on the bottom of the
card.
I made the flowers from the same paper.
You  will find the tutorial for these flowers at
the top of my page.
I coloured my seam binding ribbon with Pine
Needles Distress ink. Wear rubber gloves to
do this otherwise you will have green hands
for a few days. lol.
I haven't put a sentiment on it yet as it's not
for anyone, just to go in my collection to be 
used at a later date.

Thank you for your visit and time.
I do hope you are all keeping well.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

HEARTFELT CREATIONS CARD

Hi and good afternoon to all you talented craft
loving friends and visitors to my blog.
I do hope you are having a pleasant Sunday.
Thank you for all your comments on my last
card.
I really do appreciate your time and comments.

For a while I have been wanting the Burst of
Splendor paper pad from Heartfelt Creations.
So luckily my hubby said the other day I could
buy it, and this is what I have made with it.
The picture in the frame is of my mother when
she was young.

Now the inside.



My mother was always decoupaging flowers
from old Birthday cards onto photos before
putting them in a frame.
So as I was using a photo of my mother I 
thought I would follow her example.
My card is an 8x8 size.
As I didn't have quite the colour card I needed
for this I distressed my card with Peeled Paint
Distress Ink, I also did this to matt and layering
card only this time I used Wild Honey Distress
Ink. 
I'm not sure I think I should have used Antique
Linen instead. What do you think ?
I decoupaged the corner of the paper pad, and 
cut out the smaller flowers from elsewhere in 
the paper to go round my mother's photo.

Thank you again for your visit.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
