LOVE, Wedding, Anniversary or Valentine Card

Here is the second of three cards for my January Card Class. The focus this month is on LOVE.

The card is layered with Rustic Rose & Whip Cream Cardstock. The back panel of Whip Cream was Dry embossed using the Love Stripes Embossing Folder. 

I then used the Pocket Cuts Piercing Die to embellish around the whip cream cardstock and stamped the Love Block ATS Stamp with a Clear Embossing Pad and Copper Embossing Powder. 
I then used Rustic Rose and Limeade Splash Liquid Colors to color in the flowers and leaves.

I then added tiny drops of White Nuvo Crystal Drops and Nuvo Ruby Slippers Glitter Drops to enhance the flowers. 

The finishing touch was to make a Bow using White Organza Ribbon and heating it to slightly melt and crinkle the ribbon.

FSS Cornflowers

My card today uses another of the new images just released at Fred She Said. This is the Cornflower and comes pre-colored or a digi to color yourself.

My inspiration started with a sketch from Sketch File.

I have a wedding to go to next month and I have a stamp set called Life time of Happiness from CTMH, that I thought would be perfect for a wedding card. I think it goes well with the FSS Cornflowers.

The cornflowers were fussy cut and layered on top of the original flowers for added dimension. 

I added some Hand Stitching around the card using a matching color embroidery floss, keeping the color subtle as to not take away from this beautiful image.
