The background looks amazing with the way she inked the hills, sky and sun. It also has a wonderful all over shimmer (perfect pearls maybe?) which I couldn't catch in a photo. The gorgeous embossed tree and butterflies are full of sparkle too.
It's also beautiful on the inside!
Thanks again Marian. I love it!
This is the card I sent to Donna (irishmist2009). As Donna has received the card, I thought I'd post it.
Stamps (Hero Arts):- Leaves Background, Flourish Background, Engraved Flower & Messages.
I used a piece of green fabric for the background (the grain of the fabric is less obvious in real life), clear embossed the Leaves Background on it and added a little machine stitching. The red card base is clear embossed with the Flourish Background. The flower has two layers and is coloured with a red marker and yellow watercolour pencil. I love the little heart pearls from Hero Arts so I had to add one to the card!
If you haven't already tried it, I'd highly recommend taking part in Deborah's monthly challenge. On the last Friday of the month Deborah gives the details of the next CCC on her blog. So you might like to check out her blog on the 30th of July for the August CCC!
Marian's card is wonderful, and I especially like how special it is with the labels used INside the card! And I love that you used fabric on yours....beautifully designed!
