So here's todays card!  Gosh! I have so many to share, but I have decided on this monochrome card.

 

I have just added a little Diamond Stickles to some of the roses and some pearls to the centre of the tiny Posy Patch flowers.

 

• This card ,measures 5 1/4" x 7" and I used black card for my base card.
• I cut a piece of white card measuring 5" x 6 3/4" so that it leaves just a small border. I used the Spellbinder M-Bossabilities folder - Twisted Heart, design A to add some texture. I used a Martha Stewart punch to create the corners.
• I die cut the Spellbinder die Timeless Rectangles in black card and matted it onto the card with foam pads.
• I then cut a piece of white card measuring 3 1/4" x 5" and used a corner punch to round the edges. I adhered this to the card with foam pads.
• Next I die cut the 2nd from largest rectangle from the Spellbinder die set Decorative Labels Eight in black card and adhered this again using foam pads to the card.
• I stamped the stamp from the Heartfelt Creations floral Stamp set in black Archival ink onto white card. I die cut it out using the 2nd from largest die from the Timeless Rectangles and used foam pads again to adhere to my card.
• I already had some Time sentiments stamped and die cut.....I always like to stamp and die cut a batch of sentiments in different colours from each collection so that I have them at hand, which makes it a lot easier when making my cards. (I do this with my flowers too).
• I made a shabby seam binding bow and adhered it to the right hand corner of the card.
• I added the sentiment to the centre of the bow.
• To finish I added some pearls to the corners of the card and I used some stickles glitter - diamond on some of the roses and leaves.....I love this very subtle effect. I have also added some tiny pearls  to the centre of the Posy Patch flowers.

Good luck with the blog candy :)

 

Take care x
