Layered Daisy Leaves

This card is entered into the Crazy Crafters Team Highlights this week.  Click here to see the entire line up and vote for your favourites.

I recently made some cards using the Tarnished Foil Technique (they can be seen here, here and here).  The first steps for that technique involved embossing a piece of foil sheet and then swiping across it with some Basic Black ink.  

I really liked the look of the black against the metallic and so I made this background using just the new Champagne Foil Sheet and some black ink with the Layered Leaves embossing folder.

Berry Burst really adds a touch of drama to any card!

Since it was the background that I wanted to showcase, I tried to keep the rest of the card as simple as I could and just added a little ribbon and some flowers and foliage.

Layered Leaves embossing folder, Champagne Foil Sheet and Black ink make for an elegant background

The leaves are punched from Basic Black cardstock using the new Leaf punch and I then sponged a little Whisper White Craft Ink onto them to highlight them a bit.

The flowers are all cut from Berry Burst cardstock (to match the base card) using the Daisy punch, Pansy punch and dies from the Seasonal Layers thinlits.  I sponged a little Fresh Fig ink onto the flowers, added dimension with a bone folder and ball tool  and adhered them to the card with glue dots.  The centres are Metal Rimmed Pearls and Basic Pearl Jewels.

What do you do when you accidentally smudge the greeting? ... Smudge the rest to make it look intentional!

Thank you for your visit.
'Til next time!
