Hi everyone, it's time for another wonderful OCC challenge. This week Dana has challenged us to use blossoms on our cards.I've been under the weather the last couple of days, so I thought a nice simple, one layer card would be a great way to ease into some creative time - and it's perfect for Kristina's challenge too.
I went ultra simple. One colour (plus Kraft), one ribbon, one stamp set. I stamped the flower image repeatedly, then fussy cut around it to create the shaped border. I find it easiest to trace my cut out border then cut the back layer rather than cutting both at once.
Piercing is a great technique to use on one layer cards - lots of interest with no height!I hope you'll head over to see the other OCC girls and link up your card featuring blossoms!
Stamps: Vintage Vogue
Paper & Card: Kraft card
Ink: Riding Hood Red
Other: Mat Pack, Piercing Tool, Kraft Taffeta Ribbon
Love this card Sarah!!
