Tried my hand at another flower folding technique. I have used one of my Paper Shapers tag punches. This is a quick technique which makes a great visual impact. Once again this is a centre step card. The sentiment is computer generated.
Once again I would like to enter this creation into a few challenges:
- Pollycraft Monday Challenge #125: Favourite Things - loving the jewel brad in the middle of the flower
- Make it Monday: Anything Goes
- Card Patterns: Sketch 150 - We have to use the sketch below
- Cute Card Thursday #201: You're a Gem - Used a jewel stone for the centre of the flower
- Drunken Stampers #82: Something New - New flower folding technique
- Dutch Dare Card Challenge #149: Buttons Galore
- The Sisterhood of Crafters: Use striped paper
- Moving Along the Times #133: Blooming Marvellous
- Paper Crafting Journey #1: Floral
- Hotshot Craft #3: Flowers
- My Mum's Craft Shop #41: Flowers
- Crazy 4 Challenges #121: Layer it on
- Papertake Weekly Challenge: Sketch #64
- My Craft Spot Monday Challenge: Anything Goes

Great card... love how you take an everyday punch and turn it into something so different. Thanks too for commenting so often on my blog.
ReplyDeleteHello Desiree
ReplyDeleteI had seen your comments and so pleased to know you are back blogging.
Afraid I don't get 'out and about' in blogland too much, but I really wanted to come and say how much your kind words about the photos of my cards meant to me.
I have always admired your wonderful photography and of course your lovely cards and this one is no exception, so very elegant, not to mention the beautiful sentiment.
I always struggle with photography and am rarely happy with the results and not helped by a son and DIL who are professional photographers and always say "it's all about perspective Mum".
Have a lovely day.
