The inspiration for this card is totally down to the lovely Julie Hickey, head of the design team over at Craftwork Cards. I saw a card of hers at the NEC with a split centre, and couldn't wait to try it out.
I covered the front of a 6 x 6 card with paper from Wild Raspberry (K & Co), then chopped about 1 1/2" from the middle. The daisies are from the Walk in my garden cartridge, cut at 2" and layered, and the scroll is from storybook - one of the borders.
The sentiment was just cut from the paper 'happy days filled with summertime and you...........'
So I just joined the two halves together again with the scroll and daisies, it holds together surprisingly well. I coloured the pearls to match just by running a copic marker over them
Would you believe that it's snowing in Scotland and the north of England? Apparently we can look forward to arctic blasts of icy winds for the rest of the week. Hey weather, this is supposed to be SpringI have been busy catching up with challenge and team cards, I am up to date now for this week, and feeling all virtuous.
Hi Enfys

Hi Enfys, wow thats a stunning card, love the way youve interlocked the leaves on those flowers. With love and hugs Shirleyxxxxx
ReplyDeleteEnfys your card is beautiful. I have become a fan of the K & Co. papers myself. Love the daisies, too. I'll have to try the technique myself. What paper are your daisies cut from? Is it paper or cardstock?
ReplyDeleteOur weather in NC has been crazy also. It's supposed to be 90 by Friday.

great card! i love the colors and the flowers are sooo cute! hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, snow!!! I have my window's open here in SC. Hearing the birds singing is wonderful! The cats are in the windows too, sunning themselves. One has a skin allergy and is always itchy so I'm sure the heat feels great on her skin. It's not hot but the sun is warm.
ReplyDeleteI love your card, I never would have thought of doing it that way! Very clever of Miss Julie! TFS
what an inspirational idea enfys ~and so stylish!!
ReplyDeletecold, wet and very windy here (vest is back on)

SOOOOO pretty! What a CLEVER idea my friend!
ReplyDeleteBig hugs,

En have you seen the one called wedding lace window in Julie's book Flower power papercrafts.Think that's where they all started and that idea is a fantastic way to add dimension without adding thickness so the postage is kept down. Think it's easier with the big flowers though. Hugs Betty
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Enfys and I love the daisies.
