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.
